AC Loss Reduction of YBCO Coated Conductors by Multifilamentary Structure

摘要

Large cross-sectional aspect ratios of YBCO coated conductors leads to large magnetization loss in AC transverse magnetic field. In this work, the magnetization loss of multifilamentary YBCO coated conductors was studied experimentally. A 100 mm length of striated multifilamentary YBCO coated conductor was prepared with the conductor and filaments 10 mm wide and 0.4 mm wide, respectively. Laser ablation was used to make the sample's striations. Magnetization loss of the striated conductor and reference nonstriated conductor was measured in AC transverse magnetic fields normal to the conductor at various frequencies. Measured loss of the 100 mm striated conductor was.
