Abstract

This paper deals with the requirements for successful application of superconducting materials to power equipment. Applications in the form of wires and leads are considered, with emphasis on high current and magnetic field situations. Both low-temperature and high-temperature superconductors are considered as a continuous family. While most important general requirements are touched upon, cost is discussed as an often under-emphasized criterion.
