Abstract

Quench characteristics of HTS tapes, which are applied over-current were investigated. When the applied current exceeds the critical current of HTS tapes, the superconductor of HTS tape comes to be changed into normal conductor so that the current begins to flow through the metal sheath, which is made of good electrical conductor. In this study, the current, corresponds to 10 times $I_c$ was fed to HTS tapes. Using the V-I curves and resistance with temperature variation of HTS tapes, the distribution of the applied current between superconductor and metal sheath was analyzed. As the results, we could acquire the duration and magnitude of current to reach to thermal quench.
