Abstract :
The authors have designed, fabricated and integrated HTSC current leads in the range from a few ten to several hundred amperes in advanced magnets being in operation for many years now without failure of the leads. Their design experience is transferred into the prototype work for 13 kA leads for the main magnets of the LHC accelerator at CERN.
