Abstract

A superconductive cable including: a former; one or more superconductive conductor layers provided outside the former; an insulating layer configured to surround the superconductive conductor layers; and one or more superconductive shield layers provided on an exterior of the insulating layer. The superconductive conductor layers and the superconductive shield layers are formed of superconductive wire rods, and each superconductive wire rod includes a metal substrate layer and a plurality of superconducting layers deposited on the metal substrate layer using a superconductive material. In the superconductive wire rods of an outermost superconductive conductor layer among the superconductive conductor layers and an innermost superconductive shield layer among the superconductive shield layers, each of the metal substrate layers and the superconducting layers are disposed in opposite directions.
