During Bi(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconductor wire fabrication the effect of the initial packing density on the final characteristics of superconductor wire was systematically studied. To increase the powder packing density with uniform distribution of superconducting core a billet insertion method processed by CIP was applied instead of the commonly used vibration and ramming method of powder insertion into silver sheath. Compared with the vibration and ramming method the billent insertion technique processed by CIP cause the 30% incre-specimen with 130${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$(core thickness : 45 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$)and 5.24 mm width processed at 84$0^{\circ}C$for 200hrs. shows specimen with 130${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ (core thickness ; 45${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$)and 5.24 mm width processed at 84$0^{\circ}C$ for 200 hrs. shows maximum 34A for Ic and 16, 700 A/cm2 for Ic measured at 77K and 0T. Also the sample rolled 3 times shows maximum 7, 2A for Ic and 11, 000 A/cm2 for 77K and 0T. Based on X-ray experimental results the formation of Bi-2223 and texture were significantly well developed at the interface between the superconducting core and silver sheath as compared with those of the interior area of superconducting core.

Silver-sheathed Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O wires by the powder-in-tube method were preparated to study on the superconducting properties with cooling conditions. Superconducting wires were cooled down in the furnace, air and liquid $N_2$ after sintering at $840^{\circ}C$. Critical current density of sample cooled in the furnace is $5.1{\times}10^3\;A/cm^2$ at 77K, zero magnetic field and Jc of sample cooled in the air is very low. 2223 high-Tc superconducting phase of sample cooled in the air was distroyed. Therefore, we knew that superconducting wire need to cool slowly to get the high critical current density.

.In this study, we measured Ic depending on a curvature radios of High Tc superconducting tapes which were made of a single wire, two and three WIT(wire in tube). Wires are manufactured by the process of press ins and sintering (150h, at 845$^{\circ}C$ ) for the growth of 2223 high Tc Bi superconducting phase. We know that Ic of a single wire decrease with reduction of a curvature radius. The maximum Ic of 2 WIT wire is 2.54 (A) and have a better characteristic than a single wire (0.89 A) at a curvature radius 75mm.

To apply HTS to AC devices, it is necessary that study theoretically and experimentally to analyze the AC losses. It should be investigated the theoretical mechanisms precede the actual experiments. Because the AC losses cause some complicated troubles in AC machines, we can design the machines properly. In this study, firstly we analyze the basic cause of AC losses by investigating the several loss factors, secondly measure the AC losses of HTS by using Magnetization. Technique and this results show that AC losses of HTS is tenuous than those of general materials used in power system. Consequently we can compare the actual results with the theoretical results. And we find that AC losses of HTS are related to the amplitude of external magnetic field and the frequency. Through this study, we find that it is possible to apply the results by Magnetization. Technique to the AC power system, to the design of AC machine, to design of HTS proper to the foretold AC losses.

This paper describes design, fabrication, and evaluation of the conduction cooled high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet for superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES). The HTS magnet is composed of twenty-two of double pancake coils made of 4-ply conductors that stacked two Bi-2223 multi-filamentary tapes with the reinforced brass tape. Each double pancake coil consists of two solenoid coils with an inner diameter of 500 mm, an outer diameter of 691 mm, and a height of 10 mm. The aluminum plates of 3 mm thickness were arranged between double pancake coils for the cooling of the heat due to the power dissipation in the coil. The magnet was cooled down to 5.6 K with two stage Gifford McMahon (GM) cryocoolers. The maximum temperature at the HTS magnet in discharging mode rose as the charging current increased. 1 MJ of magnetic energy was successfully stored in the HTS magnet when the charging current reached 360A without quench. In this paper, thermal and electromagnetic behaviors on the conduction cooled HTS magnet for SMES are presented and these results will be utilized in the optimal design and the stability evaluation for conduction cooled HTS magnets.

We fabricated Bi-2223/Ag superconductor tape with 55 filaments and estimated the magnetic field dependence of critical current (I$_{c}$) and index n (n) up to 30 T at 4.2 K. The I$_{c}$ and n were characterized as a function of external magnetic field parallel to the tape surface on increasing and decreasing field, using a 35 T hybrid magnet. The $I_{c}$ was estimated to be 325 A, and n was 32, 22, and 26 in the electric field range of $0.1 ∼1\mu$V/cm, 1∼10 $\mu$V/cm, and 0.1∼10 $\mu$V/cm, respectively, under self-field at 4.2 K. It was observed that $I_{c}$ was dependent on magnitude of magnetic field and it decreased exponentially as the field increased; in a parallel and increasing field, It was 128 A at 30 T which is approximately 40% of critical current in self-field. In addition, the $I_{c}$ was higher on decreasing field than that on increasing one. On the other hand, n did not significantly depend on field strength up to 30 T, nor varied on whether increasing or decreasing field; n value in 0.1∼1 $\mu$V/cm was 23.0$\pm$5.2 and 27.8$\pm$8.0 on increasing and decreasing field, respectively. The n value on decreasing magnetic field was slightly higher than that on increasing field. This hysteretic behavior of n was similar to that of$ I_{c}$, which is related to the trapped flux at the grain boundary.ary.

We evaluated the effect of joining process such as contact method, shape of joined area and pressure on the electrical property of Bi-2223 superconducting tape. It was observed that the current capacity was reduced at the transition area of the joined tape and was significantly dependent on the uniaxial pressure. The lap-joined tape, fabricated with a pressure of 1,000-1,600 MPa, show the highest value of current capacity(80-90%) of the tape itself. It is believed the highest value of current capacity results from improvement in core density, contacting area and grain alignment, etc. In addition, the irreversible strain( ${\varepsilon}$ irrev) for the joined tape· was measured to be 0.1%, smaller than that of enjoined tape( ${\varepsilon}$ irrev = 0.3%). The decrease in the strength and irreversible strain for joined tape is believed to be due to the irregular geometry/morphology of the transition area of the tape.

Self magnetic field in a Bus bar usually degrades the critical current in it. Actually the total critical current of a Bus bar is not the same as the sum of total critical current of each stacked HTS tape. This is due to the self field effects in a bus bar. To reduce the degradations of critical current in a bus bar, we need to analyze the self field distributions in a bus bar. Conceptually, by rearranging the each stacked tapes, the self field effects can be minimized. In this paper, we calculate the self magnetic field distributions across a bus bar analytically, with the variations of the relative angle of the two conductors in a go-and-return pair. As a result, we suggest that the optimum relative angle exist which minimize the self field effect in a bus bar.

Critical current($I_c$) degradation of HTS tapes after bending is one of the holiest issues in HTS development and application studies. Many people are measuring $I_c$ degradations for effect of tending 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 $I_c$ 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), Innova Superconductor Technology(InnoST) and Korea Electro-technology Research Institute(KERI). For each specimen $I_c$ degradation was measured various bending radius as function of repetitive bending number.
