In this paper, by using the electrophoresis, preparation of YBCO superconducting wire deposited on metal Ag base wire was studied with its Properties. YBCO Powder could be prepared by solid state reactions with calcining and sintering processes. Superconducting wire prepared on metal Ag wire used as cathode of deposition base could be also fabricated in the YBCO/acetone-dispersed solution to obtain several tens of re thick films. And then it could be used as superconducting wire for measurement after calcination, sintering and oxygen absorption processes. In the process of film deposition, a catalyst I$_2$added into the suspension solution was very useful for preparing thick film of YBCO, and BaF$_2$ of additive material was also necessary for preparing crack-free wire of YBCO superconductor. As a result, YBCO superconducting wire added 2~3wt.% of BaF$_2$\ulcorner with catalyst, 12 had better deposition condition for uniform and dense YBCO wires, and critical current density, Jc was calculated at the value of 1,458A/$\textrm{cm}^2$(more than 10$^{3}$A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ ,77K, o[T]) of 30${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thick sample by 4 point prove method.

The properties of YBCO thick film coated on Ag wire with YBCO powder is deeply affected by cracking on its surface which was deposited in organic solution by electrophoretic method. YBCO superconducting thick films were prepared on Ag wire$({\Psi}0.8mm)$ by electrophoresis in acetone with added PEG (Poly-Ethylene Glycol, 3% in Acetone), 1ml for being crack-free. The surface properties of YBCO superconducting wire was evidently improved with adding PEG. Added PEG which molecular weight is 600, 1000, 3400 was affected with variation of deposition voltages to the surface properties of samples. As a result, with adding PEG (its molecular weight is 3400), YBCO superconducting wire was better on its surface properties.

YBCO wire has a metal substrate to improve the texture structure and highly conductive layers to increase the cryogenic stability. When AC current flows in the YBCO wire, magnetic field which is generated by the AC current magnetizes the metal substrate and induces the eddy current in the stabilizing layer. To examine the effect of the metal substrate and the conducting layer on the transport current loss of YBCO wire, this paper presents the transport current loss of YBCO wire which has metal substrate and conductive layer. YBCO wire with Ni-W substrate and copper layer were chosen as the model HTS wire for numerical calculation. Finite element method has been used to calculate the transport loss and the results of numerical calculation was compared with analytic calculation suggested by Norris.

In this paper, for the study on the fabrication of YBCO superconductor wire, a double layered YBCO superconductor wire was fabricated by electrophoretic method on metal Ag wire(${\Psi}$0.8 mm). On the basis of previous researches for the fabrication of superconductor wire, the acetone suspension solution with 8 vol.% of 1% PEG(1000) was used and high molecular adhesive was experimentally performed for an improvement of the critical current density of superconductor wire. It was found that the Ag inter-layer deposited on the superconductor wire affect to the state of second YBCO film and its critical current density.

Reduce AC loss is very important in superconductor power machine. And HTS power application are needed an increment of current capacity. in this paper estimate AC loss effect and increase of current according tocomposition stack with 1G wire and 2G wire by measurement. A Method of composition stack are YBCO-BSCCO, YBCO-BSCCO-BSCCO-YBCO and BSCCO-YBCO-YBCO-BSCCO. also, test result compared analytic equation by Norries

Solenoid coil is one of the commonly used one in superconducting power machines because it can produce uniform magnetic field at the center of the coil. Most of the AC loss in a solenoid coil is magnetization loss which is generated by the perpendicular magnetic field. This paper compares the electrical characteristics of two solenoid coils made of YBCO wire and BSCCO wire. We made and tested the BSCCO solenoid coil and YBCO solenoid coil which had the same number of turns and inner diameter. Number of turns and inner diameter of both coils were 30 turns and 10cm, respectively. AC loss of both coils were calculated by using the finite element method. Result shows that AC loss of YBCO coil was about 1/7 of that of the BSCCO coil when the current was 40A.

Magnetization loss of HTS wire is strongly dependent on the critical current density and the aspect ration of the HTS wire. This paper presents the magnetization loss of stacked BSCCO wire and stacked YBCO wires which had different critical current densities. Width of the BSCCO wire was 4mm and widths of two YBCO wires were 4mm and 8mm. Single wire, two stacked three stacked and four stacked wires were fabricated and tested. Ratio of magnetization loss of BSCCO wire to YBCO wire was presented at single wire. For stacked wire, ratio of magnetization loss of single wire to stacked wire was presented. Test results shows that magnetization losses of stacked wires were greater than that of single wire at large high magnetic field above critical magnetic field.

The electrophoretic deposition method using the suspension solution with additives under the electric potential was applied for the fabrication of YBCO superconductor wire. This method was able to simplify the fabrication facilities, and produce an uniform and dense thick film. To improve the critical current density of deposited films, the additive PEGs(Poly Ethylene Glycole) with the molecular weight of 600, 1000 and 3400 were used as chemical binders for the suspension solution. The organic additive (PEG) showed better effects to the properties of YBCO superconductor wire. The PEG improved the adhesion between superconductor particles and suppressed the crack on the surface, which enhanced the surface uniformity and density of YBCO deposited film. It was found that acetone suspension solution showed better deposition properties than the others. The samples fabricated in the solution with the additive, 8 vol.% of 1% PEG(1000), showed the highest critical current density measured as 2300∼2400 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 77 K, 0 T.

Superconducting electric power devices need to stack HTS wires to increase the current carrying capacity. Uniform multi-stacked wires(UMS) which were made of the same HTS wires have been used. This paper shows the magnetization loss of hybrid multi-stacked(HMS) wire made of BSCCO wires and YBCO wires. Five HMS wires, YB(YBCO-BSCCO), YYBB. YBYB, YBBY and BYYB, were made and tested. Magnetization losses of each UMS wire were compared with corresponding HMS wire. Test results show that magnetization losses per unit length of HMS wire are between the corresponding UMS BSCCO wire and HMS YBCO wire below critical magnetic field. Above the critical magnetic field, magnetization losses of HMS wires are larger than that of corresponding both VMS wires.

YBCO-coated conductors, called "second-generation wires," show a remarkably greater increase in the amount or speed of their resistance than BSCCO wires when a quench occurs. This is probably because of the specific resistance at their stabilizer layer, which also affects their voltage grade. YBCO coated conductors with copper as a stabilizer layer have a voltage grade of 1.5-2 V/cm, and those with stainless steel as a stabilizer layer have a voltage grade of about 0.5-0.6 V/cm. The voltage grade of YBCO coated conductors is important in selecting and applying superconducting wires to power instruments later. In this study, two kinds of YBCO-coated conductors with different stabilizer layers and one kind of BSCCO wire were prepared. Among them, based on the YBCO coated conductors that had a stainless steel stabilizer layer with a low voltage grade, five kinds of experimental samples for joining were prepared with the remaining two kinds of wires. Using the prepared samples, the current application properties and the resistance increase in the flux-flow and the quench states of the single wire and the joined wires were compared.
