Alternating-current losses in silver-sheathed (Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 tapes II: Role of interfilamentary coupling

Abstract: ac losses at 60 Hz have been measured for silver-sheathed (Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 multifilamentary tapes at 27 and 77 K to investigate the role of interfilamentary coupling. The results are qualitatively well described by the use of the concept of the critical coupling length lc. Further, it is shown that to obtain effective reduction of the coupling loss, a very small twist pitch length (≪1 cm) as well as a substantial reduction in the filament thickness are required for an applied ac field of, for example, 100 … Show more

“…For larger B a and larger oJ, more and more filaments will be saturated with their critical current. Finally, the filaments are fully coupled: the entire core of the conductor behaves like one large filament [16]. The onset of full coupling can be predicted by comparing the conductor's critical current to the total coupling current in the outer filaments, which can be calculated from the electric field distributions given in Ref.…”

“…As the filaments are twisted-to ensure equal current distribution field and reduced coupling loss-there is a finite loop area between the filaments for all directions of magnetic field [5]. Currents are induced in the filaments around each loop area and the current transfer between the filaments at the cross over points through the matrix.…”

“…We apply the model to two different cases of filament connection: when the filaments are all interconnected or when they are isolated from each other. For AC loss reduction the latter is the preferred one [2], [11], although the former is often encountered in practice when there are filaments with a high number of intergrowths [12], [13] or when coupling currents through the conducting matrix are of the same magnitude as the superconducting currents [11], [14], [15].…”
