Abstract :
Flat-conductors made by high temperature superconducting filaments can be electrically insulated by a host of different materials. After selecting the best performing system, an electrical characterisation stage has been implemented through dielectric breakdown tests in air and in liquid nitrogen (LN2) and through ageing in LN2, at atmospheric pressure
