Measurements have been carried out of superconducting cables of different types in pulsed magnetic fields. Three types of samples have been made from multifilamentary Nbo. 5 -Tio. 5 superconductors: one, a cluster of isolated wires; two, a double-layer twisted flat cable," and three, one-layer twist

β¦ Synopsis
Large capacity and long distance telecommunications media are fields in which full use of the excellent properties of superconducting coaxial cables may be applied. By employing a new conductor structure, characteristics of a 1.6 mm miniature superconducting coaxial pair were remarkably improved in a short time. Features such as low-loss (of the order of 1 dB km -l at 1 GHz), broad-bandand low cross-talk etc. were demonstrated for these coaxial pairs. In cryogenic envelope studies, the 20-200 m long envelopes have been manufactured for evaluating thermal insulation and investigating cable cooling performance. Cooling experiments on the envelope, including cable splice, are now in progress.

Approximate calculations are presented for the temperature rise and temperature fluctuation in an ac superconducting cable during current overload. The calculations are for a cable, which it is intended will remain superconducting throughout the overload. These show that because of the low value of
The coupling losses are calculated for round and flat cables whose cores consist of two layers (an inner insulating layer for flat cables and a thin outer shell for round cables, which is a substitute for the solder connecting the superconducting strands to the core). The previously developed method
In kiloamp (kA) class superconducting cables for a.c. use, where each strand does not have an insulation layer, the quench current in 60 Hz operation was found to be no more than 50% of the d.c. critical current, even on the load line. The degradation in the 60 Hz quench current of the kA class cabl
A theoretical discussion is presented on the coupling-current loss in a superconducting sub-cable composed of three or seven multifilamentary wires. Approximate expressions for the induced loss by the application of a changing transverse magnetic field are given as functions of sub-cable parameters
