Intensity is rising at CERN. In the superconducting equipment testing hall, an innovative transmission line has set a new record for the transport of electricity. The link, which is 60 meters long, has transported a total of 54,000 amperes (54 kA, or 27 kA in either direction). "It is the most powerful electrical transmission line built and operated to date," says Amalia Ballarino, the designer and project leader.
