Supercondutor cable |
Superconductivity technologies offer solutions for the aging electrical power transmission and distribution systems throughout the world. In 2003 alone, two widespread and disruptive power blackouts occurred in North America and Italy. Superconductive wire and cable technology has the potential to solve several existing problems in electrical power grids. Sumitomo is the only company in the world who supplies both Superconductor wire & Superconductor cable.
Sumitomo Electric Industries began research and development into superconductivity technology in 1960s. This technology came to worldwide attention after the discovery of high-temperature superconductive material in 1986. Sumitomo continues our research on practical applications of superconductivity in addition to compact power cables for large-capacity power transmission. Other potential applications include super-express linear motorcars, jumbo magnetic-field application equipment for manufacture of best-quality LSI materials, and high-frequency filters that improve cellular phones' sound quality. Since the discovery of superconductors, Sumitomo has been striving toward the development of applied products and fabrication of wires from bismuth and rare-earth superconductors.
