Abstract:
1. A low alternating current loss superconducting cable comprising a plurality of superconducting tapes arranged in a single layer and spirally wound around a longitudinally extending core in a path between about 5° and 50° relative to the longitudinal axis of the core, such that the tape completely covers the longitudinal surface of the core, the plurality of superconducting tapes being generally parallel to each other and including first and second superconducting tapes adjacent each other, the first and second superconducting tapes partially overlapping each other, the second superconducting tape having first and second continuous, straight lateral edges that are parallel to each other, the first straight lateral edge of the second superconducting tape overlying the first superconducting tape.
