For power transmission, a superconductor must be capable of carrying large currents.
Wires and other objects made of the new materials have been unable to carry large currents without losing their superconductivity.
Some thyratrons can carry large currents for their physical size.
Objections were naturally made to rails out in the open on the street surface carrying large currents at a potential of twenty volts.
But wires made out of the superconductors have not been able to carry large currents.
These carry large currents through the switchboard, and are supported by insulators.
Although, it is hard to have tap water conductive enough to carry rust-inducing currents very far inside a pipe.
It wants to replace the line with one capable of carrying 500,000-volt currents on towers twice as tall.
In electrical engineering cables are used to carry electric currents.
On the same day, he also discovered that parallel wires carrying currents attract or repel each other.
