Nexans the Super produced-3C-cable including the cryostat, which keeps the temperature of liquid nitrogen at around 200 C, as well as the required terminals. While the cable specialists from France, Norway and Hanover (Germany) worked together. "Technical maturity for the usage in the network proved Dr. Burkhard Prause, Managing Director of Bruker HTS: the Super 3C-Projekt was a huge boost for our modern maintains and demonstrated performance and reliability in industrial environments." Frank Schmidt, head of Division Nexans HTS systems added: is noteworthy, that the HTS cable not only at operating conditions properly, but without working even after exposure to short circuit currents and conversely of the nominal value. "The usage in the real network is nothing more contrary." European Consortium completed the range of knowledge in the project 3C were super out of Nexans and Bruker HTS involved seven other European partners: provided that the EON AG (Germany) Specifications for the operation of the network; the Technical University of Tampere (Finland) ran with the support of the Institute for electro-technology in Bratislava (Slovakia) the cable design work; the Institute for material sciences in Barcelona (Spain) and the Center for functional materials (Gottingen, Germany) supported the development and property determination of HTS tapes; Labein-Tecnalia (Spain) led the cable test programme with the help of Air Liquide (France), which provided the liquid nitrogen cooling system. Caption: practice maturity proved: In the lab worked Super-3 C-cable based on modern superconductor tapes not only under nominal load, but also perfect short circuit currents. The design of the system including the cryogenics and the terminals ensures maximum practical relevance.
