Abstract
A high temperature superconducting (HTS) cable terminator including a first chamber having disposed therein a terminator block electrically connected to an HTS cable conductor received within the first chamber, a cryogenically sealed chamber, a cryogenically sealed chamber conductor electrically connected to the HTS cable conductor via the terminator block, where the cryogenically sealed chamber conductor has a first portion cryogenically sealed within the cryogenically sealed chamber and an end electrically connected to one or more electrical output conductors, and one or more refrigerant lines configured to feed gas refrigerant into the cryogenically sealed chamber, where the gas refrigerant configured to absorb heat from the cryogenically sealed chamber. Also included is a second chamber connected to the first chamber, the second chamber having disposed therein a heat exchanger thermally coupled to the one or more refrigerant lines and configured to extract heat from the gas refrigerant.
