The present invention provides a connection for feeding electricity to a transposed superconductive coil, the coil being placed in a cryostat and comprising a plurality of identical superconductive conductors, the free ends of which are distributed uniformly with cylindrical symmetry, the connection being constituted by two current leads each composed of a plurality of identical lead conductors each comprising a first end and a second end, the connection being characterized in that the number of the conductors is identical in each lead and equal to the number of the superconductive conductors in the coil, in that the conductors of the leads are disposed regularly and in parallel with the cylindrical symmetry about the axis of said coil, in that the leads are disposed coaxially and in that the first end of each lead conductor is connected to a respective superconductive conductor.

Feed connection for a superconductive coil

A superconducting static machine having a magnetic circuit includes a magnetic circuit core at mere ambient temperature and very low (cryogenic) temperature windings (1A, 1B) and one or more magnetic circuit cores at considerably higher temperatures. The magnetic circuit core is disposed in a thermally-insulating chamber (3) which is itself disposed inside a very low temperature (9) containing the windings. The invention is particularly applicable to transformers.
