Abstract:
1. A connection arrangement for connecting together two superconductor cables each having: a central conductor having at least one superconductive part; a dielectric layer surrounding said central conductor; a shield surrounding said dielectric layer; and a cryogenic enclosure surrounding said shield, the connection arrangement comprising: an electrical splicing device for splicing together said central conductors and said dielectric layers, stripped of said corresponding shields; a covering made of semi-conductive material that is placed between the two shield ends and an electrical connection device for connecting together the two shield ends, the connection device surrounding said covering, being contained in said cryogenic enclosure, and having two junction elements each electrically and mechanically joined to a respective one of said shield ends, and a plurality of conducting braids connected at their ends to said junction elements and distributed around said semi-conductive covering for splicing together the two junction elements.
