China successfully tested its first high-temperature superconducting electric levitation system in the northeastern city of Changchun on Friday, marking a technological breakthrough for the country in the domain.

The operation fully verified core technologies including superconducting magnets, linear synchronous traction, induction power supply and low-temperature refrigeration, laying a solid foundation for promoting the superconducting electric maglev transportation system, China Media Group reported.

The system is suitable for high-speed, ultra-high-speed and low-vacuum pipeline application scenarios, Science and Technology Daily reported, citing Yu Qingsong, deputy chief engineer and director of Maglev Research Institute of Chinese train maker CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles Co Ltd.

Its operating speed can reach 600km/h, and it is high speed, safe, green, intelligent, comfortable and has strong environmental adaptability, Yu added.
