    摘要: A superconducting switch is provided in which the structural strength of the superconducting switch is kept, and thermal efficiency between a superconducting film and a heater is high when an ON state (superconducting state) and an OFF state (normal conducting state) of the superconducting switch are switched. The superconducting switch includes a substrate, a heater for generating heat by energization, a conductive film, and a MgB2 film evaporated on the conductive film. The heater, the conductive film and the MgB2 film are laminated in this order on one surface of the substrate.

    摘要: An improved persistent current switch design and method of operation are disclosed. By way of example, a persistent current switch circuit comprises a heating element and a switch element located proximate to the heating element, the switch element being substantially formed from a material (by way of example only, titanium) which exhibits a superconducting temperature value below a superconducting temperature value exhibited by a material (by way of example only, aluminum) used to provide a connection to the switch element. The switch element is responsive to the heating element such that the heating element is used to control whether or not the switch element is in a superconducting state. The switch element may also have a folded geometry. Such persistent current switches exhibit low power and low inductance.

    摘要: A superconducting switch is bifilarly wound with two superconductors. The superconductors are wound around a core inside a housing and are electrically insulated from one another. One of the superconductors is radially further out than the other and a common heater element is between the superconductors to switch both superconductors substantially simultaneously between the persistent and non-persistent states.

    摘要: A small portion of a lead for a superconducting coil is made to function as a controllable resistor with a low resistance value and fast thermal response so as to be capable of rapidly being switched between the superconducting and resistive states. The device is thus capable of fine adjustment of the current flowing in a superconducting loop. The switch includes lengths of parallel conductor so that the resulting section of superconductive material is cryostable. The superconducting oil lead is disposed on a substrate so as to permit ready access for helium or other cryogenic coolant to most lead surfaces. The small mass and close contact with the coolant produce rapid turn-on and turn-off response characteristics. Furthermore, the low overall resistance causes the coil current to decay slowly, thus preventing precise control of the superconducting current.

    摘要: A fuse element is manufactured of lead or other suitable material displaying superconductive properties at very low temperatures. A fuse including such an element is employed in a high voltage transmission line by serially inserting the fuse element in the line and maintaining the element in its superconductive state by using a liquified gas to cool the element during normal current levels. A sensor is provided which develops a control signal in the event excessive current levels are reached. The control signal is applied to control means which automatically vents the fuse by allowing the coolant to escape and thereby raises the temperature of the fuse such that its normal resistivity returns. The resulting I2R heat developed within the element due to the current flow therein will cause the element to immediately vaporize thereby opening the circuit. In other embodiments the control signal can be employed to provide power to a heating element mounted in thermal proximity with the fuse element to increase its temperature in the event of excessive current. Also the control signal can be employed to cause a magnetic field to be developed which causes the fuse to return to its normal resistivity. The fuse and its related circuitry can be designed to provide either a fast-blow or a slow-blow operating fuse.
