This paper presents a new method to improve both the critical current and uniformity of distribution in high-temperature superconducting (HTS) cable. The proposed involves weaving cable using transpositional REBCO tapes. To establish three-dimensional (3D) finite element model (FEM) approach, H formula is used. Numerical methods are used analyze at 77 K. <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">E</i> - xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">I</i> curve obtained through experimentation. results indicate that novel HTS has several favorable characteristics compared simply stacked by tapes, including larger more uniform distribution.
