Abstract

The electro-mechanical properties of lap-jointed ReBCO coated conductor (CC) tapes have been investigated. Different contact configurations considering its geometry were adopted in this study. The configuration where the YBCO layer is in close proximity showed much less joint resistance. In all joint configurations, the electrical resistance decreased as the joint length increased. For HTS tapes, the joint resistance-joint length behavior could be explained by parallel circuit analysis. In easy and hard bending modes, the I <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">c</sub> degradation behaviors in lap-jointed HTS tapes were examined. The critical radius for 95% I <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">c</sub> retention in each bending mode were determined.
