Influence of external magnetic field and its orientation on transport AC losses in Bi-2223 and Tl-1223 silver sheathed tapes

摘要

In the paper we report measurements of energy losses caused by an AC transport current in silver sheathed multifilamentary Bi-2223 and mono core Tl-1223 tapes, as a function of the magnitude and orientation of the applied external magnetic field. The external magnetic field was rotated in the range of 0 to /spl plusmn/90 degrees with respect to the plane of the tapes, and was In all cases perpendicular to the transport current flow. The transport current losses in a range of DC applied fields are consistent with the Norris equation provided the DC critical current at the same applied field is used in his expression for the loss.
