The prototype high-T$_c$ superconducting (HTS) power transmission cables have been designed and fabricated multi layers of spirally wound HTS tapes. The cables were made Bi-2223 based Ag-sheathed HTS tapes, and tested in LN$_2$. Critical currents of 700A dc and better were achieved. The magnetic flux density and field direction were analyzed in the cable configuration. In this paper the results of analysis and tests of HTS power transmission cables were described.

Among the various processing techniques used in HTS wire fabrication, the PIP(Powder In Tube) method is currently one of the most promising for applications on an industrial scale. In this study, we have fabricated Bi-2223/Ag superconducting tapes using the modified PIT process, where several process factors were changed and improved, ie., powder packing, drawing, rolling and heat treatment. We obtained Bi-2223 tape that have high critical current, 46 a at 77.3 K, have high critical current, 46A at 77.3 K, self field although the tape was not pressed but only rolled. The critical current of 100m class long length tape was measured 21.6A at the same criterion. Besides, the critical current of Bi-2223/Ag tape was measured applying magnetic fields with different directions at various temperatures.

AC loss is one of the important superconducting power machine that we have to consider deeply using the stack wires with the HTS. AC magnetic field is occurred around the wires when the electric current is conducted to the stack wires. It also brings electric field to the wires and occurs self field loss, whose quantity is appeared differently by distance of the stack wires. In this paper, transport current losses of a stack short sample of HTS were compared with Norris equation and measured value.

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 cylindrical former. In this paper, the ac loss characteristics in the 3-conductor have investigated experimentally. The loss test results indicate that the ac loss is not related to the arrangement of Bi-2223 tapes, contact position and applied frequency. The measured losses in face-to-face arrangement are larger than those in edge-to-edge arrangement. The measured losses in the 3-conductor also agree well with the sum of the transport losses measured in each Bi-2223 tape.e.

We describe methods for depositing high temperature superconducting films on textured metal tapes by reactive co-evaporation (RCE). We discuss how RCE can be used to deposit on moving tape in a continuous fashion in a Garching-style process. Results are presented on films deposited by RCE at Los Alamos on IBAD-MgO textured tapes. The performance achieved, attaining over 500A/cm-width in self-field at 75.5 K, is competitive with the best results obtained by other processes for coated conductors. Tape production throughput is critical for the economics of the process and high deposition rates achieved in RCE are attractive for this. We present a detailed cost analysis model for HTS deposition using an RCE Garching process. The results indicate that HTS deposition can cost $<$5/kA{\cdot}m$ in a scaled up manufacturing environment.

AC Losses for face to face stacks of four identical coated conductors (CCs) were numerically calculated using the H-formulation combined with the E-J power law and the Kim model. The motive sample was the face to face stack of four 2 mm-wide CC tapes with 2 ${\mu}m$ thick superconducting layer of which the critical current density, $J_c$, was $2.16{\times}10^6A/cm^2$ on IBAD-MgO template, which was suggested for the mitigation of ac loss as a round shaped wire by Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute. For the calculation the cross section of the stack was simply modeled as vertically aligned 4 rectangles of superconducting (SC) layers with $E=E_o(J(x,y,t)/J_c(B))^n$ in x-y plane where $E_o$ was $10^{-6}$ V/cm, $J_c$(B) was the field dependence of current density and n was 21. The field dependence of the critical current of the sample measured in four-probe method was employed for $J_c$(B) in the equation. The model was implemented in the finite element method program by commercial software. The ac loss properties for the stacks were compared with those of single 4 cm-wide SC layers with the same critical current density or the same critical current. The constraint for the simulation was imposed in two different ways that the total current of the stack obtained by integrating J(x,y,t) over the cross sections was the same as that of the applied transport current: one is that one fourth of the external current was enforced to flow through each SC. In this case, the ac loss values for the stacks were lower than those of single wide SC layer. This mitigation of the loss is attributed to the reduction of the normal component of the magnetic field near the SC layers due to the strong expulsion of the magnetic field by the enforced transport current. On the contrary, for the other case of no such enforcement, the ac loss values were greater than those of single 4cm-wide SC layer and. In this case, the phase difference of the current flowing through the inner and the outer SC layers of the stack was observed as the transport current was increased, which was a cause of the abrupt increase of ac loss for higher transport current.

The effects of fabrication method and condition on critical current density of Ag sheathed Bi- 2223 superconducting tapes by powder-in-tube method were studied. The highest critical current density (Jc) in the whole process was measured in the repeative heat treatment of 250 hour and mechanical deformation of 2 times. These results are suggested that the high-Tc phase at the heat treatment of 250 hour was superior and the good grain alignment at the mechanical deformation of 2 times was analyzed by XRD pattern. The highest critical current density obtained by pressing method was $1.05\times 10^4A/\textrm{cm}^2$ and $0.78\times 10^4A/\textrm{cm}^2$ in case of rolling method. The multifilamentary wires with 7 and 49 filaments were fabricated to check the applicability of pressing and rolling method for preparing multifilaments wire. The critical current density of 7 filaments tapes prepared by pressing showed $0.45 \times 10^{4}A/\textrm{cm}^2$ and $0.20 \times 10^{4}A/\textrm{cm}^2$ for 49 filaments tapes prepared by rolling.

Some different types of joining between two parallel high Tc superconducting tapes were prepared and I-V characteristic curves were obtained at the atmosphere of liquid nitrogen. Resistances in joint parts were estimated from I-V curves. We selected the best jointing method among these methods and its resistance were obtained at 28K. The availability of this joint method for fabricating HTS field coils is discussed.

This paper presents output characteristics of a linear switched reluctance motor (LSRM) with excitation windings wound by using high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes. In a double-sided LSRM, Bi-2223 or YBCO tape conductors are used for the excitation windings. The characteristics of the LSRM are obtained by a finite element method analysis. We can obtain large thrust compared with a conventional LSRM by using YBCO tape conductors. Also, the effect of a configuration of the YBCO coil on the thrust is calculated. We discuss a suitable coil configuration for the average thrust upgrading.

We designed and manufactured a 1.8T high temperature superconducting(HTS) insert coil for a NMR magnet operated at 4.2 K. Suitable HTS superconductor and HTS coil were carefully designed and developed. We have selected multi-filamentary Bi2223 conductor fabricated by American Superconductor Corporation(AMSC). The selected conductor consists of Bi2223 filaments of 55, silver stabilizer and stainless steel reinforcement tapes. Therefore, it shows good hoop strength as well as compression tolerance. The conductor has a tape cross-section of 0.31mm x 4.8mm. the Bi2223 conductor shows large anisotropy of critical current. The critical current of conductor in magnetic field parallel to the flat surface are much higher than that in magnetic field perpendicular. The HTS coil has an inner diameter of 78 mm, an outer diameter of 127 mm and a coil length of 600 mm. In this paper, the detailed design, fabrication and test results on the HTS insert coil are presented.
