In this paper the applications of superconducting material for electrical engineering especially for transport and electric grid are exposed. Firstly, superconducting materials used in electric engineering will be presented, particularly High critical Temperature Superconductors (HTS), from a microscopic physical point of view, followed by tapes and wires used in applications. The electrical characterization of HTS tapes and coils will then be developed. Two applications of these HTS in electrical engineering will be presented, motors and cables through GREEN lab projects in collaboration with industry. Finally, the French project, PEPR SUPRAFUSION, including GREEN lab will be presented.
