Abstract
A cylindrical joint for connecting sub-cables of a superconducting busbar includes a stainless steel shell, stainless steel pressure plates, first sub-cables, second sub-cables, copper saddles, a stainless steel support, indium coatings, stainless steel tapers. First and second sub-cables are supported by the stainless steel support. The first sub-cables and the second sub-cables are embedded into the grooves on the stainless steel support in sequence. The copper saddles are embedded into each of the grooves, and the indium coating is plated on both sides of the copper saddle, respectively. The stainless steel pressure plate is welded to the stainless steel support. The outer side of the joint is the stainless steel shell. The cylindrical joint of the disclosure has a low resistance, a lower AC loss, less materials, and a good cooling performance.
