Pirelli boosts investment in HTS power cables


Pirelli Cables and Systems will provide up to $13.8 million in additional funding to American Superconductor Corp. for the development of high temperature superconducting (HTS) wires for use in power cables. The companies also agreed to exploit HTS wire for use in fault current limiters, devices employed to limit power surges in electrical networks. (Pirelli formed a strategic alliance with American Superconductor in 1990.)
