Present Status and Future Perspectives of Research Activities in Cryodielectrics

—Electrical Insulation Technology for Superconducting Power Apparatus—

Abstract

“Cryodielectrics", i.e. electrical insulation technology at cryogenic temperature, has been recognized as one of the fundamental and common technologies for the research and development of superconducting power apparatus. This article describes the importance, present status and future perspectives of cryodielectrics for superconducting power apparatus and systems in the next generation.
