In general, the bubbling, generated during the fabrication of the tapes, breaks the superconducting filament, and critical current of the tapes will be decreased. Heat-treatment schemes of Bi-2223/Ag HTS tapes were modified, such as pre-annealing of multi-stacked billet, 2-step main sintering and ramp rate etc. The generation of bubbling was drastically decreased from 20 bubbles/m to 0 ~ 1 bubble/m by the modified heat-treatment. Therefore, the value of critical current of the tapes without bubbling was increased almost twice higher than that of already existing tapes. Critical current up to 42 A in 40 m length Bi-22231Ag tapes have been measured at 77K, self-field, 1$mutextrm{V}$/cm criterion. It could be confirmed that elimination of bubbling is effective to maintain the superconducting property along the tape length.

Contact type Ic measurement system is needed to measure Ic continuously for long Bi-2223 tapes. Voltage and current terminals were designed several shapes for 4-probe method Ic measurement. Voltage terminals were made with brass and current terminals were made with Cu. We used 2 kinds of Bi-2223 tapes with different strength. When we measured Ic of Bi-2223 tape with Ag-Mg sheath, The proper weight was 0.3 kg and sharp pin type was better. according to voltage terminal shape and load. In case of Bi-2223 tape with Ag-Mn sheath, the proper terminal weight was 4 kg and sharp pin type was bad. It was possible to make continuous contact type Ic measurement system because We could get proper data - terminal shapes and loads - through these experiments.

일반적으로 Bi계 고온초전도선재(HTS Tape)는 저온초전도선재(LTS Tape)에 비해서 비열이 수백 배 이상 크므로 열적으로 상당히 안정한 성격을 가진다. 그러므로 이러한 HTS Tape를 TQ(Thermal Quench)시켜주는 일은 매우 어렵게 되는데, 일반적으로 HTS Tape를 이용한 초전도응용 분야에서 TQ를 이용한 스위칭 동작이 매우 중요하므로, 응응에 앞서 이에 관한 연구가 반드시 이루어져야 할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 Bi-2223 Short Sample의 TQ 특성을 실험하여 온도특성과 전압특성 등을 비교하였으며, 또한 이론적으로 HTS Tape를 TQ시켜주기 위한 열량과 실제 실험에서 사용된 열량의 값을 비교하였다.

The fundamental mechanical characteristics under tensile and bending deformations of hermetically-sealed reinforced Bi-2223 tape and CTOP processed Bi-2223 tape were examined at 77K. Also, the Tensile strain dependence of the critical current, $I_c$, was obtained at 77K and self-field. The reinforced hermetic tape showed higher tensile strength and a better Tensile strain tolerance than the CTOP processed tape. For bending tests, a rho-shaped sample holder was used giving multiple bending strains. in increasing order. In the same case under bending deformation, the hermetic tape showed a higher bending strain tolerance than the CTOP processed tape. This higher strength of the hermetic tape can be attributed to the thick hardened copper reinforcement layer.

Superconducting power cable is one of the most promising energy application of high-T$\sub$2/ superconductor(HTS). Thus we investigated previously the electrical and mechanical characteristics on Bi-2223 Ag sheathed tape. And a prototype HTS cable have been designed constructed and tested. In case of 19-filament type transport losses agree with the results of norris theory(strip). The critical current of HTS cable(1, 19-filament) in LN$_2$was 116[A], 240[A] and degradation coefficient(k) was 0.71, 0.73 respectively. In case of 19-filament cable critical current was decreased because of mechanical strain at pitch. And AC loss of HTS cable(19-filament) was 0.7 [W/m] in 240[A] loading

Long length of Bi-2223/Ag superconducting wives were fabricated by stacking and drawing process with advanced heat-treatment schedules. Intermediate annealing was carried out to increase the homogeneity and uniformity of the superconducting filaments embedded in the silver matrix. Phase modification from tetragonal to orthorhombic Bi-2212 by pre heat treatment(PHT) was executed to improve the texture and phase transformation of Bi-2223. Drawing stress was measured to predict the sausaging and stress limit. Rolling Parameters such as thickness. width and winding tension were investigated to roll the tape with uniformity. 1 km length of Bi-2223/Ag superconducting wires were fabricated without any breakage. Critical current (Je) of 270 m length of superconducting tapes was measured over than $70 A/cm^2$ continuously after final sintering.

Current lead plays the part of connector between ambient temperature and liquid helium superconducting magnet. Having zero resistance characteristic, it is expected that HTS has very low thermal conductivity and generate no joule heat when fabricated to current lead. In particular, among the HTS meterials, HTS tape has high Jc and Ag-sheath of tape plays the part of stabilizer, but it has too poor mechanical strength to be applied and when fabricated as long length tape, it has tendency to decline Jc seriously. In this study, we fabricated Bi-2223 multifilamentary tapes and then made current lead with stacking type using them. Through this work, we conclude that the defect of HTS long length tape is decreased by addition the number of stacking tape and that current lead is able to operate more stably by minimizing the gap of tapes.

As an preliminary study for the quench protection of high temperature superconducting (HTS) cable using superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL), experimental research was carried out. The test circuit was composed of Bi-2223/Ag HTS tape and a SFCL made of YBCO thin films. In the normal state, the applied current of 56 A, which was critical current of HTS tape, could be flown through the circuit without resistive loss. Increasing the currents, the quench development of both materials was investigated from the voltage signal acquired from the resistance of the quenched superconductor. Up to around 10 times of the critical current was applied to the HTS tape and the current limiting characteristics of SFCL were investigated. In addition, for the finding out the optimal operating condition of SFCL such as the numbers of elements, a shunt resistor was applied to the SFCL and quench characteristics were analyzed as well.

Bi-2223 tape is one of the most widely used HTS tapes for power application. This paper presents the basic properties such as temperature and resistivity rise of the Bi-2223 tape which is exposed to the over current. Temperature and resistivity were measured by E-type thermocouple and voltage taps. Results of the measurement showed that rise of voltage depended on the magnitude of the over current until several times of the rated current. When the current largely exceeded the rated current, rise of voltage depended on the magnitude of the resistivity of the Ag matrix because temperature of the matrix increased to a great extend.

There have been a lot of studies to improve the characteristic of Bi-2223 tape by PIT method which is considered as one of the best way for applying superconductor. These improved characteristic of Bi-2223 tape is able to be acqured by control of mechanical deformation and heat treatment. In this work, we studied HTS tapes with the sheath(Ag and Ag-alloy)of tapes that affect mechenical strength and critical current, with each two kind of purity(99.9% and 99.999%) and with two kind of tapes(single and double concentric). These charateristics affect Jc of tapes seriously that is the most important factor of superconductor tapes.
