Abstract
In most power devices, the conductor is carrying an ac transport current while it is exposed to an ac magnetic field transverse to the current path. In certain applications, such as power cables or a control winding in a controllable reactor, the conductors are exposed to a magnetic field component longitudinal to the tape axis that is parallel to the current path. To create an improved base for the design of such power devices it is of interest to study the losses in high-temperature superconductor tapes due to longitudinal field in detail. We have investigated the losses at several temperatures of a nontwisted multifilamentary Bi-2223 tape when it was exposed to a longitudinal magnetic field. The losses were measured with a calorimetric method and the results were compared with the critical state hysteresis loss model. The hysteresis losses are dominating at power frequencies (50, 60 Hz) in the investigated field range 2-200 mT and are accurately described by the critical state hysteresis model.
