Claim 25:
26. A method comprising:
obtaining a high temperature superconductor (HTS) cable assembly comprising at least one channel, and a stack of HTS tapes arranged within the at least one channel;
bending the HTS cable assembly to provide a bent HTS cable assembly; and
at least partially filling the at least one channel of the bent HTS cable assembly with a molten metal such that the molten metal is disposed around at least one surface of the stack of HTS tapes, wherein at least partially filling the at least one channel of the bent HTS cable assembly with the molten metal comprises:
heating the bent HTS cable assembly to a first temperature until the bent HTS cable assembly is heated to the first temperature;
heating the bent HTS cable assembly to a second temperature, higher than the first temperature, that allows a molten metal to flow through the bent HTS cable assembly while forcing the molten metal into the bent HTS cable assembly.
