Medium voltage cable conducts record current Nexans’ superconductor specialists have concluded the Endesa Supercable project while setting a new world record. In December 2009, the single-phase, medium voltage cable (24kV) carried 3,200A in laboratory conditions, almost 10% more than any installed medium voltage cable worldwide. During ten load cycles of 24 hours the rated current was applied for 8 hours per cycle while the cable was subjected to twice the nominal voltage. The project partners, Nexans, Endesa SA, the Spanish energy provider, and the ICMAB-CSIC Institute for Materials Sciences (Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona – Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas) – plan an installation in a power grid as the next step.
