The cable system consists of terminations, three HTS cables with conventional room-temperature dielectric and stress cones, and a closed-loop circulating cooling system maintaining the temperature between 74 and 84 K. Critical issues before the commercialization of this technology is the improvement of the thermal insulation, the reliability and maintainability of the cooling system, and the reduction of materials costs
