Abstract

“A new means of power transmission is being considered which requires ‘high-reliability’ helium refrigeration. In this case ‘high reliability’ means long-term operation in a public utility with minimum interruptions of power transmission, certainly not more than the frequency now obtained by conventional equipment. Is ‘high reliability’ compatible with this application, and if so, how is it obtained and what are the costs?”
