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.

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.

In order to design thermally trigger controlled persistent current switch(PCS) for MRI magnet system, it is very important to know informations of applied adiabatic method and condition to get designed resistance and characteristics. Adiabatic part of PCS is consist of cotton-gummed tape and cryogenic stycast. This adiabatic method has the advantage of continuously winding superconducting and adiabatic part of PCS and reducing the time of manufacture. We experimentally derived averaged thermal conductivity on the assumption that shape of adiabatic part of PCS is that of pipe. In result, averaged thermal conductivity is about 0.29 W/m K and designed value is very satisfied with actual experimental data.

Critical current(Ic) degradation of HTS tapes after bending is one of the hottest issues in HTS development and application studies. Many people are measuring Ic degradations for effect of bending radius. However even if the bending radius is larger than the breaking radius a HTS tapes can be damaged by repetitive bending, which is unavoidable in the winding processes. Therefore, We studied the Ic degradation after repetitive bending. at 77K with self-field, of Bi-2223 tapes processed by "Powder-in-Tube" technique, which was made by America Superconductor Corporation(AMSC) and superconductiing tapes that strain is imposed measured critical current by temperature difference of L$N_2$ and normal temperature. Like this, critical current could measure that degradation about 1~3％ by temperature difference. These results will amount the most important basis data in power electric machine of superconductivity cable, magnet, etc that winding work is require.

This paper is a study of recovery under load process of superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL). SFCL consists of five parallel-connected high-temperature superconductor (HTS) tapes additionally stabilized by stainless tape. Previously, HTS was heated by current pulse to simulate a short circuit in a power grid. During the cooling period, the current amplitude decreased to 23% or less of HTS critical current value, which is the simulation of network re-switching. When HTS with a polymer coating is cooled, temperature gradient on thermal insulation layer occurs, that prevents a boiling crisis and improves the heat sink into liquid nitrogen. Two samples are coated with a 30 ㎛ and 50 ㎛ polylactide (PLA) layers, reference sample has no polymer coating on it. Samples with a polymer coating show 3-5 times faster cooling than the reference one.

According to the improvement of the HTS wires performance, several tapes of HTS superconducting machines are being developed. Stacked HTS tapes are used as conductor that can flow high current for the HTS power machines. To develop the HTS power machines, the critical current characteristics of a stacked HTS tapes in external filed and AC losses should be examined. In this paper, we present characteristic of the stacked HTS tapes and AC losses of HTS pancake windings with stacked tapes. AC loss of the pancake winding were measured and compared with the calculated loss by using AC loss data of the stacked samples and the magnetic flux density in the HTS winding under operating conditions. We can see that measured results generally agree well with the calculated results by using AC loss data of 4-stacked sample.

Bi-2223/Ag superconducting wires have been mainly prepared by a powder-in-tube method. The drawing and the rolling are main processes to increase the core density and wire length. In the fabrication of long wire, especially, the drawing should be precisely controlled to assure the filament homogeneity. In this paper, the influences of drawing die angle, bearing length and reduction ratio on the sausaging and the critical current density of the wire are investigated. Single cored and multi-filamentary wires are fabricated by PIT method with different conditions. The core densities and sausaging in the wires are investigated and are discussed regarding their relationship to the I$_{c}$. It was made clear that the geometry of drawing die is sensitively dependent on the sausaging. The improvement of I$_{c}$ was achieved by reducing the die angle and high core density.ity.

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

This paper describes the construction and test results of a 10kVA single phase HTS transformer. Double pancake windings with BSCCO-2223 HTS tape and GFRP cryostat with room temperature bore are used in the transformer. Two double pancake windings are connected in series to provide 184 turns and two double pancake windings are connected in parallel to conduct the secondary current of 45.4A. Coefficients of the constructed transformer are obtained using the fundamental tests of the transformer. According to the test results, larger leakage reactance than expected is observed due to the bulky core which surrounded the cryostat.

High $T_c$ superconducting lines will be applied as key materials in the areas of power transmission line; magnetic levitation of vehicle; magnetic separation; magnetic energy storage and marine propulsion. A combination method of electrophoresis deposition and zone-melting for preparation of YBaCuO tape is proposed. The submicron particle powder of YBaCuO made by sol-gel method is used in the electrophoresis process. A 40∼50 ${\mu}\textrm{m}$ thickness of YBaCuO film on Ag plate could be deposited in about three minutes. After deposition the film is rolled and heat treated in order to increase the density and the adhesion of the film to the Ag plate. Silver(Ag) and lead oxide(PbO) were added in the YBaCuO powder in order to reduce its melting point. The YBaCuO coating with controlled Ag and PbO contents was preliminarily zone-melted at about $945^{\circ}C$.
