Abstract
A high temperature superconducting cable comprises a cryogenic core, with a superconducting material either inside the cryogenic core or wrapped around the core. A space maintained at a vacuum and functioning as a cryostat surrounds the core; within this space are a separator and superinsulation. A conventional dielectric at room temperature surrounds the superinsulation, and a conventional ground shield surrounds the conventional dielectric. This cable does not require a cryogenic dielectric and is of suitable size and nature to be used in retrofitting conventional cable pipes.
