World record in current intensity achieved with distribution cables

Researchers in Spain have developed the most advanced and powerful conductivity cable in the world. This prototype measures 30 metres and was made using superconducting material. The new cable surpasses the record in current intensity (3200 Ampers RMS) and can transport an electrical charge five times greater than a conventional copper cable of the same dimensions, thus reducing energy loss by half.
