A common problem in many fields of cryogenic power engineering is applying high voltage to cold parts of superconducting apparatus. In many cases, a bushing provides electrical insulation for the conductor which makes the transition from ambient temperature to the cold environment. The 60 kV class cryogenic high voltage bushing for neutral line of the 154 kV / 100MVA high temperature superconducting (HTS) transformer was described. The bushing is energized with the line-to-ground voltage between the coaxial center and outer surrounding conductors; in the axial direction, there was a temperature difference from ambient to about 77 K. For the insulation design of cryogenic bushing, electrical insulation characteristics of the GFRP were discussed in this paper.

Critical current(Ic) degradation of HTS tapes after bending is one of the hottest issues in HTS development and application studies. Many people are measuring Ic degradations for effect of bending radius. However even if the bending radius is larger than the breaking radius a HTS tapes can be damaged by repetitive bending, which is unavoidable in the winding processes. Therefore, We studied the Ic degradation after repetitive bending. at 77K with self-field, of Bi-2223 tapes processed by "Powder-in-Tube" technique, which was made by America Superconductor Corporation(AMSC) and superconductiing tapes that strain is imposed measured critical current by temperature difference of L$N_2$ and normal temperature. Like this, critical current could measure that degradation about 1~3％ by temperature difference. These results will amount the most important basis data in power electric machine of superconductivity cable, magnet, etc that winding work is require.

The power demand is steadily increasing due to rapidly develop of industrial field. The ratio of prospected increment of power consumption is over 2.2 % per year from 2007 to 2020 year. The superconducting fault current limiters(SFCLs) should be suggested to be one of promising machines to protect power grid. Four basis tests such as resistivity, short-circuit tests, ac losses and recovery time were investigated according to various reached maximum temperature, operating temperature. This paper deals with investigation of the various commercial high temperature superconductor for applying resistive type SFCLs.

Quench and recovery process of high-temperature-superconductor (HTS) film deposited on the sapphire substrate is studied numerically. The quench is developed by fault current and the superconductivity is recovered by convection of heat into coolant. After the fault current. the HTS film experiences the quench state. current sharing state. and finally recovers the superconductivity. Numerical results of this study are compared to the previous experimental results. and shows that this numerical work can explain the mechanism of quench/recovery characteristics of HTS film.

A high-$T_c$ superconducting (HTS) DC application has advantages such as the ultimately lower loss, more compact dimensions, and large capacity compared to AC application. In order to optimize the insulation design of a HTS DC machines, it is important to understand the high voltage insulation and materials at cryogenic temperature. Polypropylene laminated paper (PPLP) has been widely used as an insulating material for HTS AC machines. However, the fundamental data under DC voltage have not been revealed satisfactorily until now. In this paper, we will discuss mainly on the breakdown and dielectric characteristics of PPLP in liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$). The polarity effects of DC and impulse voltage were studied by using the semi-rod to cylindrical electrode. The volume resistivity of PPLP in $LN_2$ was studied. Also, the space charge distribution at room temperature was studied. However, it is necessary to study this topic at cryogenic temperature in the near future.

The current study deals with the possible interplay between superconductivity and spin density wave in two band model high temperature iron based superconductor (FeBSC) Ba_1-xNa_xFe₂As₂. The electron and hole bands in the presence of the inter-band interaction between the two bands is becoming a vital issue to deal with the high temperature physics of the iron-based superconductors. In this research work, a model Hamiltonian appropriate for the system under consideration has been developed and the temperature dependent Green's function technique has been employed to get the solution for the equations of motion constructed for the two band model high temperature FeBSC Ba_1-xNa_xFe₂As₂. By making use of the decoupling procedure, the equations of motion for the dependence of superconducting transition temperature (T_C) on spin density wave(SDW) order parameter (Δ_SDW) in the electron intra-band (Δ_sc(e)) , hole intra-band (Δ_sc(h)) and inter-band (Δ_sc(eh)) for Ba_1-xNa_xFe₂As₂ have been obtained. We have also obtained the expression for the dependence of spin density wave transition temperature(T_SDW) on Δ_SDW for Ba_1-xNa_xFe₂As₂. Using some plausible approximations and appropriate experimental values for the parameters in the obtained equations of motion, phase diagrams of T_C versus Δ_sc(e), Δ_sc(h) and Δ_sc(eh) are plotted. Furthermore, a phase diagram of T_SDW versus Δ_SDW is plotted for the material under consideration. Finally, using the above mentioned phase diagrams, the interplay between superconductivity and spin density wave in the two band model high temperature FeBSC Ba_1-xNa_xFe₂As₂ has been demonstrated to be a very distinct possibility. The agreement of the current finding with the experimental observations is quite commendable.

The stability of high-temperature superconducting current leads for cryogenic devices are investigated. By assuming full transition from superconducting state to normal state at a transition temperature, the HTS current at a transition temperature, the HTS current lead shows bifurcation phenomenon. There is a bifurcation shape-factor, HTS leads have three steady state. Below the bifurcation shape-factor, the superconducting current lead is unconditionally stable, because there exists only one steady-factor HTS current lead is conditionally stable depending on the shape and intensity of disturbance.
