AC loss is an important issue in the design of high-T$_{c}$ superconducting power cables which consist of a number of Bi-2223 tapes wound on a former. In the cables, the tapes have different critical currents intrinsically. And they are electrically connected to each other and current leads. These make loss measurements considerably complex, especially for short samples of laboratory size. So special cautions are required in the positioning of voltage leads for measuring the true loss voltage. In this work we have prepared a conductor composed of three Bi-2223 tapes with different critical currents. The ac loss characteristics in the conductor have experimentally investigated. The loss tests indicate that the ac loss is dependent on arrangements of voltage leads but not on their contact positions. The measured losses in the conductor also agree well with the sum of the transport losses measured in each Bi-2223 tape.e.

This paper deals with the characteristics of a prototype solenoid for basic design of DC reactor type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL). The prototype high-Tc Super-conducting (HTS) solenoid was manufactured with 4 stacked Bi-2223 tape. The critical currents were measured with respect to the number of stacks. In order to test the safety of HTS solenoid in quenched state, the transport tests of AC over-current were performed. These experimental results could be applied to the basic design of HTS DC reactor for SFCL effectively.

A typical HTS power transmission cable has multi-layer conductor structure to increase the current capacity. The tapes of the innermost layer are wound on a round former, and adjacent tapes of another layer are separated by a thin insulating film. In steady state, the total current flows in the conductor layer, and consequently there is magnetic field between the inner and outer layer. This paper describes a magnetic field amplitude around the conductor layer and the HTS tape by a transport current. Also, this paper will help for future cable conductor prototypes.

고온초전도테이프의 전력부야 응용에서 자화손실과 함께 매우 중요한 통전손실에 대한 실험적 조사 연구를 한 결과, 외부자장이 커짐에 따라서 직류전압이 급격히 증가하였으며, 자장의 세기가 동일할지라도 교류인 경우가 직류인 경우보다 대단히 크다. 그리고 외부교류자장에 대한 직류전압-전류 특성으로부터 정의되는 동저항 또한 외부교류자장의 세기에 따라서 상이하지만 테이프의 임계전류에서 전기저항$(3.7\;{\mu}{\Omega}/m)$과 비교하여 작게는 수배에서부터 크게는 수백 배까지 증가한다.

Bi-2223 테이프의 실제 전력기기 응용측면을 고려할 때 테이프는 외부자계하에 놓이게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 외부자계가 Bi-2223 테이프의 통전손실에 미치는 영향에 대해서 조사하였다. 비교적 작은 자계가 인가된 경우는 전압리드의 배역이 통전손실측정에 영향을 미쳤으나 비교적 큰 자계가 인가된 경우는 전압리드의 배열에 무관하다는 사실과, 전계와 통전손실은 외부사계가 증가함에 따라 각각 증가하였으며 비교적 큰 자계가 인가된 경우에 통선손실은 동저항 손실이 지배적이었으며. 외부자계가 작은 영역에서 통전손실은 동저항 이외의 또 다른 메카니즘에 의한 것으로 사려된다.

The thermal characteristics of quench propagation is a crucial problem for the stability of the superconductor. The objective of this study is to simulate the quench propagation with the variation of disturbance energy in Bi-2223/Ag HTS pancake coil. In this analysis, the temperature-time trace of a point away from heater was calculated under conditions of different quench energy. The critical disturbance energy between quench propagation and quench recovering was calculated, In addition, the minimum quench energy with different transport currents was obtained through the present simulation. These results are significant to the application of HTS.

AC Losses for face to face stacks of four identical coated conductors (CCs) were numerically calculated using the H-formulation combined with the E-J power law and the Kim model. The motive sample was the face to face stack of four 2 mm-wide CC tapes with 2 ${\mu}m$ thick superconducting layer of which the critical current density, $J_c$, was $2.16{\times}10^6A/cm^2$ on IBAD-MgO template, which was suggested for the mitigation of ac loss as a round shaped wire by Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute. For the calculation the cross section of the stack was simply modeled as vertically aligned 4 rectangles of superconducting (SC) layers with $E=E_o(J(x,y,t)/J_c(B))^n$ in x-y plane where $E_o$ was $10^{-6}$ V/cm, $J_c$(B) was the field dependence of current density and n was 21. The field dependence of the critical current of the sample measured in four-probe method was employed for $J_c$(B) in the equation. The model was implemented in the finite element method program by commercial software. The ac loss properties for the stacks were compared with those of single 4 cm-wide SC layers with the same critical current density or the same critical current. The constraint for the simulation was imposed in two different ways that the total current of the stack obtained by integrating J(x,y,t) over the cross sections was the same as that of the applied transport current: one is that one fourth of the external current was enforced to flow through each SC. In this case, the ac loss values for the stacks were lower than those of single wide SC layer. This mitigation of the loss is attributed to the reduction of the normal component of the magnetic field near the SC layers due to the strong expulsion of the magnetic field by the enforced transport current. On the contrary, for the other case of no such enforcement, the ac loss values were greater than those of single 4cm-wide SC layer and. In this case, the phase difference of the current flowing through the inner and the outer SC layers of the stack was observed as the transport current was increased, which was a cause of the abrupt increase of ac loss for higher transport current.

In this study we investigated ac transport current losses in the face to face stack for the anti-parallel current flow, and compared the electromagnetic properties with those of the single SC tape as well as those of the same stack for the parallel current path. The gap between the SC tapes in the stack varied in order to verify the electromagnetic influence of the neighbors when current flows in opposite direction, and the model was implemented in the finite element method program by the commercial software, COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2a. Conclusively speaking, the loss was remarkably decreased for the anti-parallel current case, which is attributed the magnetic flux compensation between the SC layers due to the opposite direction of the current flows. As the gap between SC tapes was increased, the loss mitigation became less effective. Besides, the current density distribution is very flat cross the sample width for the narrower gap case, which is believed to be benefit for the power electric system. These results are all in good agreement with those predicted theoretically for an infinite bifilar stack.
