Abstract

It is known that in magnetic fields parallel to the transport current, an increase of the critical current is observed in most low-temperature and high-temperature superconductors — the effect of a longitudinal magnetic field (LMFE). LMFE has been theoretically predicted and experimentally confirmed in many studies. This article presents various methods for optimizing power coaxial cables based on high-temperature superconductors (HTS), considering LMFE. LMFE provides a higher current-carrying capacity of HTS DC cables and higher stability for HTS power AC cables, including lower AC losses. The results of optimization of HTS cables for both DC and AC applications with consideration of LMFE are presented and discussed. Two methods for calculating the magnetic field in coaxial HTS cables are presented: analytical and using the finite element method. The results of AC loss calculations and measurements for HTS cables are also presented.
