Summary

The current lead is composed of copper conductors for the electrical connection from room temperature to an intermediate temperature (77 K) and high-critical temperature superconducting tubes conducting the current down to liquid helium temperature. The overall refrigeration load is reduced by a factor of five with respect to vapour cooled, all-metal current leads. These results are compared to thermal-load calculations of high-temperature current leads.
