We have fabricated and tested a Bi-based high temperature superconducting current lead system. Ag sheathed Bi-2223 mono-filament tapes of $I_c=8.4$ A at 77 K under self-field condition were fabricated using powder-in-tube(P1T) method. Multi-layer current leads can be made by stacking of Ag sheathed Bi-2223 mono-filament wires. The critical current of this 10-layer current lead is about 68 A. The contact resistance across the copper-current lead interface has been studied using current-voltage characteristics. At temperature below critical temperature the resistive contribution of the interface to the total contact resistance dominates. We have measured AC transport losses in a current lead at 77 K, 60 Hz by a transport method.

The $I_c$ degradation behaviors of externally-reinforced Bi-2223 superconducting tapes under pressurized liquid nitrogen were investigated. Tapes with different thickness of reinforcement layers were compared and the results showed that when the bending strain was calculated at the outer surface, the tape with the thicker reinforcement showed a better bending strain tolerance of $I_c$, but when the bending strain was calculated at the outermost filament, the $I_c$ degradation behavior became identical for all tapes. $I_{c0}$ decreased with the increase of applied pressure. After depressurization to atmospheric pressure from 1 MPa, the $I_c$ was completely recovered to its initial values. Ballooning occurred after a thermal cycle.

Influences of bending strain on the critical current ($I_c$) in Ag-sheathed Bi-2223 superconducting tapes at 77K were investigated. The effect of bending mode on the bending strain characteristics was discussed in viewpoints of sample geometry, n-value and damage morphology. Especially, in this paper, we reported the $I_c$ behavior in Ag alloy sheathed Bi-2223 multifilamentary superconducting tapes under hard bending. As a result, $I_c$ degradation behavior of the hard bending appeared remarkably than the case of easy bending, but it did not influence greatly on the n-value.

Differently from the tensile, transverse compression and torsion cases, the bending test of HTS tapes requires a lot of time and efforts, since the sample should be mounted successively onto bent sample holders in the order of decreasing radius and measuring the $I_c$ at each step. The influence of repeated cooling and warming experienced during these processes on the $I_c$ degradation can not be ignored. As a result, in this study, particularly. a new one-body type sample holder which provides continuous bending strains at 77K was devised. And, $I_c$ degradation behavior of Bi-2223 tapes under easy bending condition was investigated and compared that with other cases using Goldacker-type bending tester or respective sample holder.

We fabricated BSCCO-2212 (2212) rod by the melt casting process (MCP) and evaluated the effect of the melt flowing on the critical current ($I_c$) by using vertical and tilt casting. It was observed that the $2212-SrSO_4$ rod processed by the tilt casting method with homogeneous pre-heating temperature of the mold had a higher $I_c$ than that processed by the vertical casting method. We also evaluated the influence of the strontium sulfates ($SrSO_4$) addition on the texture, microstructure, critical current and temperature, and mechanical hardness of the $2212-SrSO_4$ rods. It was observed that the addition of $SrSO_4$ improved the critical current ($I_c$) and mechanical hardness of the 2212. The $I_c$ of the 2212 increased as the $SrSO_4$ content increased and reached a peak value (260 A at 77 K) at an $SrSO_4$ content of 6 wt.%. In addition, the addition of $SrSO_4$ had a beneficial effect on the mechanical hardness of the 2212. We studied the possible cause of the variation in the $I_c$ with the melt flowing and the $SrSO_4$ content based on the XRD, EPMA analysis and the microstructural observation.

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.

In order to investigate 95% retained critical current of Bi-2223/Ag tapes under various stress-strain conditions, load cell attached tension and bending apparatus was used. The critical current of stress-strained tape was degraded below 95% retained critical current when tension and bending was simultaneously applied together. But only one of this tension or bending did not degrade the tape below 95% retained critical current. Deformation temperature was important to maintain the 95% retained Ic of Bi-2223/Ag tapes after bending or tension deformation because mechanical strength of tapes can be changed drastically between room temperature and 77 K.

For many applications of $ReBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (ReBCO) tapes it is needed to know the anisotropic properties of the used conductor in a broad range of magnetic field. In this paper we present the results of transport measurements on the SuNAM tape (GdBaCuO) with the rotation of the sample in magnetic fields up to 5 T in liquid nitrogen. The critical current over the magnetic field orientation ($I_c({\theta})$) curves demonstrate the appearance of distinct second peak around c-axis in low fields. This peak almost vanishes in the fields over 3 T. The evolution of the ab-peak form is also presented: the peak consistently reduces its height with the magnetic field going up and in the high fields the shoulders rise, changing the type of the distribution. To describe experimental curves the vortex path model was applied to the angular distributions of the critical current in magnetic field. Good agreements of the experimental data with the analytical expressions were obtained that confirm the vortex path model approach.

The high critical current ($I_c$, A) of SmBCO coated conductor in a magnetic field, the high production rate and the high material yield are promising for applications. The inhomogeneity of Ie at the long length coated conduct is very important problem for electric application. So we researched the reason of inhomogeneity of $I_c$ at long length tape prepared by batch type co-evaporation system called by EDDC. The long length SmBCO coated conductors were developed on $LaMnO_3/IBAD-MgO/Y_2O_3/Al_2O_3$/Hastelloy C276 template. The distribution of $I_c$ are from 0 to 397 A/cm at 77 K and self field. We have studied the microstructures of these films by using SEM, EDS and X-ray diffraction. The XRD and composition by EDS results of SmBCO film reveals subtle difference. But, the microscopic observation by SEM show the microcrack at the sample with low $I_c$.

The value of I$_{c}$(critical current) in HTS (High Temperature Superconducting) tape has a great influence on B(equation omitted) (magnetic field amplitude applied perpendicular to the tape surface). Therefore, I$_{c}$ of HTS magnet is determined by not only operating temperature but also the B(equation omitted). In shape design of field coil for the HTS motor, a method to reduce the B(equation omitted) and to determine operating current should be considered in order to optimal design. On the basis of the magnetic field analysis, this paper deals with various field coil shape to obtain operating current of HTS motor by using analytical method. And also this paper discusses the operating current of 100hp class HTS motor by using I$_{c}$-B(equation omitted) curve.curve.
