Parameters of HTS Current Leads
The nominal current for the HTS lead is 220A, and it must be capable of carrying 500A when the high-temperature end of the lead is nominally at 60K and at 1.5T. Type Outer Diameter (mm) Length (mm) Cross-section area ( mm2) Critical Current (A/77K) Silver contact length (mm) CSL-18/80.3 18.0 80 78 750 15 CSL-18/120.3 120 CSL-18/160.3 160 *Data from Sumitomo Electric Superconducting tubes of BiPbSrCaCuO (Bi-2223 phase) ceramics with silver covered ends of a low contact resistance are suitable for current leads effectively reducing heat leak into superconducting magnets. For better mechanical protection the leads may be encased in metal or G-10 tubing.
