When high temperature superconducting(HTS) tapes are wound on former for HTS cable application, their critical characteristics are likely to be degraded seriously because of mechanical stress. In this study, prior to fabricate prototype HTS cables, we investigated the variation of critical characteristics of HTS tapes according to their pitch angles. For this work, we prepared the samples of HTS tapes on the former of which diameter is 3cm. Pitch angles of HTS tapes are $0^{\circ}$, $00^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $40^{\circ}$, respectively. We applied current up to 160 $A_{rms}$ to HTS tapes and investigated E-I characteristics. The critical current of HTS tapes was decreased as pitch angle increased. In addition, when the applied current was beyond their critical current, the rate of resistance increase of HTS tapes was in proportion to their critical current. Finally, We concluded that the pitch angles affected resistance increase of HTS tapes as well as critical current.

Applying the AC over-currents over the critical current to Bi-2223/Ag tape having 56 A Ie, resistance increase with the duration of current application was measured and analyzed. In addition, the influence of the tape's electrical insulation on the over-current characteristics was investigated and compared with each other. From the results, we will establish the safe operating condition against the AC over-currents and the protection of the tape for the practical power application such as cable and transformer.

The Active Superconducting Current Controller (ASCC) is a new type of Superconducting Fault Current Limiters (SFCL) which can limit the fault current in different modes. It also has the particular abilities of compensating active and reactive powers for electrical networks. In this paper, it is confirmed that the performance of ASCC in different operating modes introduces a limiting impedance in series with the network which can even degrade the transient stability and the operation of the Over-Current Relays (OCR) employed in a power system. In addition, the model of a three-phase ASCC is simulated, and the effect of descriptive modes on the current limiting level is investigated. For the transient stability analysis, a single machine-infinite bus system is tested, and the effect of operation modes is studied based on an equal area criterion obtaining the critical time and the critical angle. Modifying the setting parameters of OCR such as time dial and pick-up current, the protective coordination is also studied in different operating modes.

Bi-2223/Ag tapes need to be safe, even it is under the over-critical current state for the protection of a superconducting power machine. However, it is not easy to identify the condition for the safe operation because of their broad S/N transition region. In this paper, for the study of the operation condition of Bi-2223/ Ag tapes, we investigated the V-I curves and the temperature variation of Bi-2223/ Ag tapes experimentally, applying alternating over-currents, and analyzed the relationship between resistance and temperature increase. For the experiments, a Bi-2223/Ag tape of 57 A $I_c$ was prepared, and the over-critical current characteristics under adiabatic state from $LN_2$ was measured. From the experiments, we confirmed that the Joule heating predicted by V-I curve corresponded with the increase of the measured temperature exactly. Using the results, a safe operation condition of Bi-2223 tape was discussed.

As high temperature superconductor applications became a reality due to increase in coated conductor performance, it is important to understand their stability behavior to design safe electrical power systems. We have experimentally studied the dependence of quench and recovery characteristics of coated conductors on the amplitude of current and duration time. The sample used in the present study is stabilized with stainless steel. Stability tests of 3 cm long sample were performed in a liquid nitrogen bath cooling condition by applying a short period over current pulses for 50 and 100 ms, with amplitude up to ~ 6 times of the critical current. The transport current that follows before and after the current pulse was fixed about ~85% the critical current. We analyzed the quench recovery using the current voltage characteristic.

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 magnetic properties have been investigated for the system of $Y_{1-x}$Yb$_{x}$Ba$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$F$_{y}$O$_{y}$ with x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5. In the magnetic hysteresis measurements, the values of the magnetic critical current densities are in the range of 10$^{4}$-10$^{5}$ A/cm$^{2}$ at the maximum external field 1.4 T. The upper critical field is over 100 T. The critical current density is estimated by the magnetization width .DELTA.M through the Bean critical state model. As the field strength is increased, the .DELTA.M diminishes slowly. The .DELTA.M for the fluorinated sample also decreases slowly with increasing field. It is considered that the large J, value results from this type is due to enhanced pinning center in grain boundary.y.ary.y.

As high temperature superconductor applications became a reality due to increase in coated conductor performance, it is important to understand their stability behavior to design safe electrical power systems. Coated conductors can be stabilized with different metals and alloys for different types of application, to yield excellent electrical, thermal and mechanical performance. We have experimentally studied the dependence of quench and recovery characteristics of stainless steel stabilized coated conductors on the amplitude of current and duration time. Stability test of 3cm long sample were performed in a liquid nitrogen bath cooling condition by applying a short period over current pulses for 50 and 100ms, with amplitude up to ~6 times the critical current. The transport current that flows before and after the current pulse was fixed at about ~80-85% critical current. We analyzed the quench and recovery phenomena of the test sample using the current voltage characteristic.
