The 4-probe method with a voltage tap on terminals has been used for the measurement of the critical current of multi-strand high-T$_{c}$ superconducting(HTS) cables. And the critical current of cables is obtained as the measured total current divided by the number of conductor when the terminal voltage exceeds the predetermined criterion of critical current. However, because of the non-uniform current distribution due to the different critical current, shapes, and other characteristics of each conductor, this is not applicable method to the multi-strand HTS cable. To determine the critical current of multi-strand HTS cable, the critical current of each conductor must be measured with different method. h this paper, the current distribution and the critical current of each conductors in multi-strand cable were measured with specially made Pick-up coils and voltage taps. It is presented that the real critical current of multi-strand is smaller than sum of each conductors. The main cause of non-uniform current distribution is the difference between the resistances appeared in each HTS wires.s.

High-$T_c$ superconducting (HTSC) power cable is one of the interesting parts in power application using HTSC wire. However, its stacked structure makes the current distribution between conducting layers non-uniform due to difference between self inductances of conducting layers and mutual inductances between two conducting layers, which results in lower current transmission capacity of HTSC power cable. In this paper, the transport current distribution between conducting layers was investigated through the numerical analysis for the equivalent circuit of HTSC power cable with a shield layer, and compared with the case of without a shield layer. The transport current distribution due to the increase of the contact resistance in each layer was improved. However, its magnetization loss increased as the contact resistance increased. It was confirmed from the analysis that the shield layer was contributed to the improvement of the current distribution between conducting layers if the winding direction and the pitch length were properly chosen.

A 154 kV class high temperature superconducting (HTS) power cable system is developing in Korea. For insulation design or this cable, the grading method of insulating paper is proposed. The use of graded insulation gives improved bending properties of the cable. Therefore, we discussed the electrical stress distribution and calculation for grading insulation design of a HTS cable. Also. the basic insulation design of 154 kV class HTS power cable was done.

This paper proposed protective coordination on HTS(High Temperature Superconducting) cable on 22.9kV distributed system. HTS cable transient model is developed and tested using EMTP-RV, system protective coordination is studied with ETAP. Possible contingency and protective scheme are considered real distribution system in Icheon substation. The simulation results was showed, in protective case to apply conventional relay, that appeared problem on HTS cable inner part. The HTS cable couldn't protection on contingency state of power system. It was using high-speed relay system instead of conventional relay system. Then, the HTS cable was protected contingency by circuit breaker.

Superconducting cable is using by bundling and twisting with many strands for large current capacity. As a result of the twisting, the magnetic field whose direction is parallel to a sound axis by the transport current of themselves is produced in the cable. Not only the externally exposed longitudinal field but also longitudinal component of self field make a influence on a.c loss and a.c quench current degradation. In this paper, we calculate the saturated region flowing with the critical current density in a strand in case of various twist pitch, transport current and external longitudinal field.

본 논문은 CD형 초전도 케이블을 22.9kV 다중접지 배전계통에 적용한 경우 불평형 지락 고장이 초전도 케이블에 미치는 영향을 검토하고 이로 인한 중성선 전류의 변화 및 계통보호를 위한 대책을 논한다. 3상 CD형 초전도 케이블을 사용하는 경우 귀로선은 전향선과 전류가 반대이면서 거의 동일한 전류가 흐르므로 회로의 인덕턴스를 크게 줄일 수 있지만 이를 위해 회로를 단락하여 운전하는 경우 지락고장시 영상회로가 별도로 존재하지 않으면 지락전류를 저감시키는 결과를 초래하게 되어 계통보호에 영향을 주게 된다. 본 논문은 EMTDC 프로그램을 활용하여 이 현상을 XLPE 케이블 계통과 비교, 모의하는 한편, 정상적인 보호계전기 동작이 가능토록 하는 대책에 대해 논한다.

Since the strand-to-strand type joint far CICC (Cable-In-Conduit Conductor) is small in size and has low DC resistance, it is expected to be useful type fur a superconducting magnet system which had a compact structure like the KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) coil system. The DC resistance is changed according to the distribution patterns of strands in cables connected together in the joint. A commercial code was used for the calculation of the DC resistance. With the decrease of outer diameter of the Joint, Which means the increase of strand volume fraction in the joint, the calculated DC resistance decrease rapidly and non-lineally. The variation of resistance depends mainly on the volume fraction of solder which has higher resistivity than copper. The resistance decrease inversely with the increase of the length of the joint. The resistance increase with increase of number of triplets in each stack contacted with that of another terminal cable. In case of the strand-to-strand joint that has 62mm of outer diameter, 52mm of inner diameter, 100mm of overlap length, and four triplets in each stack, the calculated DC resistance is less than 1 n-Ohm.

During the fast current and field ramp up experiment with CICC (Cable-In-Conduit Conductor) non-insulated 3 strand superconducting magnet, the unbalanced current distribution associated with the loop current has been obtained directly from the shunt resistor voltage data. To explain the generation of the loop current during the current ramp up, the steady-state three strand loop current model was proposed. This model gives an explanation for the relation between the loop current and the relation between the loop current and the twist geometry of the strands. According to this model, the twist geometry of the strand has significant influence on the generation of the loop current especially in the large superconducting magnet.
