  • Abstract
    A superconducting cable using helium as the electrical insulation requires rigid insulating support spacers to hold the conductors in position. This paper describes the design and testing of post type spacers for such a cable. The spacers consist of an approximately spherical mass of epoxy or ceramic to serve as the electrical insulation with imbedded conducting inserts to control the distribution of the electric field.
