HTS Wire
AMSC’s high temperature superconductor (HTS) Amperium® wire conducts more than 100 times the electrical current of copper wire of similar dimensions. This second generation (2G) wire is available in both copper (Cu) and brass laminate.
Brass
Used in high-current AC or DC cable applications, such as power transmission and distribution, high-capacity Amperium wire offers a significant increase in the amount of power that can be carried regardless of voltage. Amperium wire’s unique laminated construction combined with the dual impedance characteristic of superconductors, allows for the construction of cables with intrinsic fault current limiting capability. This provides high capacity under normal conditions and high resistance during fault conditions. AMSC’s brass-laminated superconductor wire provides high strength and stability with ease of stranding and handling.
Copper
Used in power dense coils for applications such as synchronous motors, generators and magnets, our copper-laminated Amperium wire can dramatically reduce the size and weight of large-scale electrical equipment. This product provides significantly greater power throughput and efficiency as well as high strength and stability with outstanding bend tolerance.
HTS Wire: Compact, Versatile, Efficient, Powerful.
