Type of article: Article

Summary

THIS PAPER DISCUSSES THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CONSTRAINTS WHICH ARE PARTICULARLY APPLICABLE TO A DC SUPERCONDUCTING CABLE AND SHOWS HOW SUCH A CABLE CAN BE DESIGNED TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND SUMMARIZES THE WORK ON LOW TEMPERATURE DIELECTRICS PERFORMED AT LOS ALAMOS. IT SHOWS THE VARIATION OF BREAKDOWN VOLTAGE OF DIELECTRIC MATERIALS, IN SHEET FORM AND CABLE CONFIGURATION, WITH TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE UNDER DC AND IMPULSE VOLTAGE. THE SURFACE FLASHOVER CHARACTERISTICS WITH LARGE CREEPAGE DISTANCE AS WELL AS ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF DIELECTRIC MATERIALS AT CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES ARE DISCUSSED. THESE STUDIES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR THE DESIGN OF HIGH VOLTAGE APPARATUS OPERATING IN CRYOGENIC ENVIRONMENTS.
