American Superconductor

American Superconductor

American Superconductor is a technology company based in Westborough, Massachusetts specializing in the design and manufacture of superconducting wires and power converters. It is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol AMSC.

Holbrook Superconductor Project

The world's first production superconducting transmission power cable was commissioned in late June 2008. The suburban Long Island electrical substation is fed by about 99 miles of superconductor wire manufactured by American Superconductor, installed underground and chilled with liquid nitrogen to minimize power loss in the transmission lines.
