This work presents racetrack High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) magnet with iron plates to achieve the maximum current-carrying capacity and the simple shape that can easily be wound and jointed. The shape, position and kinds of iron plates are chosen by using 3 Dimensional Finite Element Analysis (3d FEA) considering magnetic saturation of iron plates. The racetrack HTS magnet with iron plates, magnet having optimized current distribution and initial magnet are compared with each other through 3D FEA, manufacturing and testing these magnets. The measured performance of the magnet with iron plates improved by 50% on the basis of initial magnet.

Superconducting Electrodynamic suspension(EDS) system is generated by the interaction between the magnetic field made by the induced the eddy current in the ground conductor and the moving magnetic field made by onboard superconducting magnet. The levitation force of EDS system, which is proportional to the strength of the moving magnetic field, becomes saturated according to the increase of the velocity. Especially, the levitation force is influenced by the structure of HTS magnet and ground magnet. This paper deals with the optimal design condition for the HTS levitation magnet. The 3-D numerical analysis with FEM was used to find the distribution of the magnetic field, the optimal coil structure, and the calculation of the levitation force.

Owing to the discover of oxide superconducting over critical temperature100K, it is being made experimentally somewhere under the possibility that there is superconducting magnet by cooling liquid nitrogen. The issues of thermal stability and quench process of Low-Tc superconductor has been studied and used application of oxide superconducting magnets. However the quench propagation property of oxide superconductor, especially experimental data about thermal behavior has not been reported yet. Therefore we measured the effect of temperature dependance of quench propagation velocity, Vq, by using the short samples made up of silver sheathed Bismuth-family (2223phase) superconducting oxide tape.

In this study, we fabricated Bi-2223/Ag high temperature superconducting tapes using PIT(Powder-In-Tube) process to apply the superconducting magnet, cable and etc. It is inevitable to deform the superconducting taps with axial strain for application. Therefore, for the characterization of the strain sensitivity of the superconducting properties, the degradation of Bi-2223/Ag tapes due to axial strain were investigated by measuring the critical current as a function of applied tension strain and external magnetic field. The critical current of Bi-2223/Ag tapes were decreased slightly up to 0.3∼0.4% applied strain but, drastically decreased more than these strains. Superconducting filament cores consisted of brittle ceramic fibers were broken easily by the large strain and current path were decreased simultaneously.

Superconducting tape easily can applied to distribution of electricity. It designs basic model of Saturable Reactor type Fault Current Limiter which used superconducting tape, and observes a specific character by means of simulation. Saturable Reactor type Fault Current Limiter is not influenced by saturation of Magnet core appeared in Induction Fault Current Limiter, because it exploit saturation of Iron core. But, it is possible that superconducting tape quenched when AC current flow to superconducting tape which biased DC voltage.

In this paper, dc reactor lot the inductive high-Tc superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) was optimally designed by finite element method(FEM). The Prototype high-Tc do reactor was manufactured and compared to the results of design. This dc reactor consists of 4∼stacked double pancake coils which are wounded with Bi-2223 wire coated with SUS315L. Kapton tape is used for the insulation of turn to turn and layer to layer. Each pancake is connected in series by soldering Finally, optimal design and manufacture method lot the dc reactor is suggested in this paper. Through the comparison of result of optimal design and experimental result of prototype high-Tc superconducting dc reactor, reliance on the design of the high-Tc dc reactor tot the 1.2 kV/80 A SFCL is proved.

In this study, we fabricated single grain YBCO bulk superconductors with control of the distance between the seed and the upper surface of the YBCO compacts. The magnetic levitation force of the YBa₂Cu₃O₇ superconducting bulk, which corresponds to the energy amount of the superconducting bulk, was measured to be 32.634 N at the center of the bulk where the seed was placed. Under field cooling conditions, a capture magnetic force of 2.17 kG was observed at the center of the bulk. The trapped magnetic force curve corresponding to the stability of the superconducting bulk means that the superconducting specimens were well grown in the form of single grains.

This paper deals with the design and fabrication of a novel superconducting power supply system, and characteristics have been analyzed through experiments. Superconducting power supply consists of rotating and static parts, and superconducting magnet. In this experiment, the current-pumping characteristics have been analyzed with superconducting sheets placed in parallel within the static part of the machine. In addition, in order to observe the 3-dimensional flux distribution in the superconducting sheet, several hall-sensors were placed in it. With the flux distribution acquired, the effect of the flux on the superconducting sheet during the process of current pumping have been analyzed. Also, general operational characteristics of the superconducting power supply system have been investigated on the basis of the current and voltage data and magnetic field values acquired through the experiments. In this experiment, maximum pumping current has been achieved to about 1280 amps.
