Abstract
In support of second generation HTS conductor development for ac applications, transport ac loss measurements were conducted on a series of RABiTS-processed YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub x/ (YBCO) coated conductors with different nickel alloy substrates and copper stabilization at 77 K. Each 1-cm wide sample had a critical current density between 1.0 and 2.0 MA/cm/sup 2/ and had either a 75 /spl mu/m Ni-5at%W substrate or a 75 /spl mu/m Ni-10%Cr-2%W substrate with 2-/spl mu/m nickel overlayer. Samples with copper stabilization had a 50-/spl mu/m strip of 1 cm wide copper laminated to a 3-/spl mu/m thick silver coated YBCO sample. Using thermal and electrical measurement techniques, the ac losses were measured as a function of the peak current ratio at 60 Hz. Experimental results were compared to the Norris thin strip and elliptical models to determine the influence of the ferromagnetic loss of the substrate and the copper lamination on the total ac loss.
