At present, the traditional high-temperature superconducting cable structure mainly includes a central support frame, multiple superconducting conductor cables arranged outside the support frame, and a cooling system for maintaining the superconducting state. The support frame is usually made of high-strength materials to ensure sufficient mechanical strength and stability during cable operation; superconducting conductor cables are made of superconducting materials, which exhibit zero resistance characteristics at low temperatures, thereby achieving efficient power transmission; the cooling system is a key part of the entire high-temperature superconducting cable structure. It usually uses liquid nitrogen or other cooling media to maintain the superconducting cable below the critical temperature to ensure its superconducting performance.
