Chapter 3.7: Research and Development of Bi-2223-Based AC Power Cables in Russia
The Russian program for R&D of AC power cables has been started in 2005. During the program, the several 5m prototypes and witness samples of Bi-2223 based cables have been tested, as along with the 30m experimental three phase cable. Eventually 200m full size AC power cable with ratings 20 kV 1.5/2kA and 50/70MVA has been developed and successfully tested. The review of cable designs and test results is presented.
