B(T) 0 0.2 0.5 ABSTRACT -Superconducting wires for 50-60 Hz applications must have very small diameters, in order to obtain intrinsic stability and low AC losses. kA-class conductors are made of a large number of these elementary wires. New concepts are developed in the latest GEC ALSTHOMs conductors, which make them more industrial, and give them particular quench properties, leading to self-protection against buming or breakdown. Experimental results are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
