This study researched into the manufacture of current-limit module of using YBCO coated conductor. Regarding over-current of exceeding the critical current, the quench characteristics were researched according to the stabilizing layer through tendency in resistance, which is generated in conductor, by applying over-current to YBCO coated conductors, which have stabilizing layer. YBCO coated conductors, which were used in experiment, include one kind such as the conductor, which used stainless as the stabilizing layer. The critical current is 70 A. And, the critical temperature is with 90 K. First of all, the quench generation was researched under over-current of exceeding the critical current by using this YBCO coated conductors. The tendency of a rise in the detected voltage according to the applied current was measured. And, the tendency of a rise in resistance through voltage-current curve was measured. As a result, the point of time in thermal quench of conductor, which has stainless as the stabilizing layer, could be confirmed to be fast.

High temperature superconductor (HTS) coated conductors has high hysteretic magnetization loss which is an obstacle for the AC applications of coated conductors. We propose a method to reduce the magnetization loss of the coated conductor. It is the mechanical striation method by load variety using office knife. The magnetization loss measured in the mechanical striated YBCO coated conductor without copper layer was compared with the loss generated by perpendicularly exposed external magnetic filed. The reduction in magnetization loss due to the mechanical striation is clearly shown at higher field and was dependent on the striation number. The mechanical striation method was proven to have additional advantages of a low cost and high fabrication process.

We fabricated 18cm YBCO coated conductor comprising a YBCO superconducting film and CeO$_2$/YSZ/CeO$_2$ buffer films deposited on a biaxially textured Ni tape. For those film fabrications, we developed a new method, the cylindrical holder in a double chamber. This is alternative to the reel-to-reef method which is commonly tried to fabricate a long YBCO coated tape. We will discuss about the superconducting properties of the 18cm long YBCO coated tapes.

YBCO 박막형 초전도체(coated conductor) 제조를 위해서는 여러 층의 완충층이 필요하다. 현재 일반적인 완충층의 구조는 seed layer로써 $Y_2O_3$, diffusion barrier로 YSZ, capping layer로 $CeO_2$가 사용되고 있다. 특히, capping layer로 $CeO_2$는 YBCO와 lattice mismatch가 매우 우수한 산화물로 이용되고 있다 본 연구에서는 $CeO_2$ capping layer가 증착 방법에 따라 그 위에 증착되어지는 초전도층의 특성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 연구하였다. $CeO_2$를 thermal evaporation과 PLD (pulsed laser deposition) 증착 방법으로 증착 한 후 그 위에 PLD 방법으로 YBCO를 증착하여 coated conductor의 성능을 평가하였다.

The Ag thin film of YBCO (yttrium barium copper oxide) CC (coated conductor) protect the YBCO layer and, at the same time, affects the electrical characteristics of the YBCO CC. Therefore, YBCO CC with the commercialization of the Ag thin film layers makes it easy to establish a process, it can lead to a variety of characteristic changes in YBCO CC. In this paper, plasma surface treatment was carried out to facilitate the deposition of the Ag thin film and the deposition process of YBCO CC. Surface roughness from the test results was increased as the time of the plasma surface treatment increased from 5 to 20 minutes. On the other hand, the surface roughness was decreased for the time of the plasma surface treatment over 20 minutes. Furthermore, after depositing, the increasing of deposit amount and reduced lifting phenomenon showed a similar tendency with the rise time of surface roughness.

Differently from BSCCO tapes which are fabricated by powder-in-tube method, the coated conductors are made by the evaporation of YBCO on metal substrate. Due to this structural merit, although the coated conductors are generally used for large current transportation, they are expected to be favorable to the purpose of the fault current limitation as well. In this study, using YBCO coated conductor having copper stabilizer formed by plating technique(produced by Superpower Co.), we investigated the over-current characteristics of the coated conductor. The coated conductors had 85 A $I_c$ and 90 K $T_c$. The resistance of the conductor was 0.93 $m{\Omega}/cm$ at 300 K and 0.17 $m{\Omega}/cm$ at the temperature right above $T_c$. To the coated conductors, we applied the voltages of the range from 150 $V_{rms}$ to 230 $V_{rms}$ and measured the V-I curves using four probe method. From the results, we could analyze the electric behavior of the coated conductor in flux flow state. As the current exceed $I_c$, the currents were distributed into the superconductor and metal stabilizer. The amounts of the currents shared through both current paths were calculated under the assumption that the ,Joule heating was perfectly eliminated by $LN_2$ surrounding the conductor. Finally, the condition for the stable current flowing state which does not affect the conductor was established from the analysis on the over-current characteristics.

In the case of designing superconducting power apparatuses using the second generation high temperature superconducting wire, it is necessary to have a tape-splicing technique to achieve low splice resistance between coated conductor (CC) tapes. In this paper, an experimental splice method between YBCO CC tapes is proposed for a coil application. Splices were performed with a 37Pb-63Sn solder. YBCO samples were fabricated with various pressures and cooling rates. Joint resistances of the spliced samples of jointed YBCO CC tapes were measured and evaluated from V-I curves. In addition, optical micrographs were obtained to analyze the cross sectional microstructure of jointed samples.

AC loss is an important factor in the development of superconducting tapes and superconducting power applications. In this paper we measured and compared characteristics of BSCCO tape and YBCO Coated Conductor(YBCO CC). BSCCO tape was fabricated by PIT method. We measured critical current density and transport current loss of it. Also, YBCO CC tape consist of substrate. buffer, YBCO and metal layers. We measured critical current density on variations of external magnetic field and transport current loss of these cases. The results of measurement show that normalized critical current of YBCO CC is smaller then that of BSCCO tape in the external magnet field. According to the results. measured loss and calculated of the YBCO CC show the same tendency.

Improved flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) is composed of a series transformer and superconducting unit of the YBCO coated conductor. The primary and secondary coils in the transformer were wound in series each other through an iron core and the YBCO coated conductor was connected with secondary coil in parallel. In this paper, we investigated the current limiting characteristics through initial line current after fault initiation. through the analysis, it was shown that the smaller initial line current is superior to current limiting characteristics and a point of view of power burden of the YBCO coated conductor.
