Abstract
A 600 A High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) current lead has been designe d, fabricated and tested. The design of the HTS current lead is optimized t o reduce the heat leak and to operate safely during fault mode conditions. The current lead consists of a resistive part cooled with helium forced flo w and HTS part that is cooled with boiled off helium gas. The HTS part is c omposed of Bi-2223 with Ag 10 at. % Au alloy matrix, Results of the electri cal and thermal tests of the current lead are presented.
