Future applications of superconductivity within power systems require reliable high voltage leads from ambient air into the LHe-region. The main electrical, thermal, and thermo-mechanical design criteria are discussed, and guiding rules are given for the construction of such leads. Practically feasi

โฆ Synopsis
Superconducting power apparatus for commercial and utility applications must pass the same high-voltage tests required by national standards for conventional equipment. Various considerations which enter into development of high-voltage test procedures are summarized, and brief descriptions of the equipment and procedures used for common high-voltage tests are given. Actual high-voltage tests performed during several superconducting equipment development projects are summarized to illustrate the principles.
