REBCO superconducting tapes have excellent critical current properties even at high temperature and magnetic field. Many projects for the research development of machines devices with are in progress worldwide. The important problem to realize them is ac loss reduction since most part thermal load cryocoolers loss. evaluation induced windings also quite design system, especially cooling system. In this study, we investigated applicability scaling law stacked using currently fabricated tapes....
For the power line between a generator and step-up transformer, isolated bus (IPB) is generally used. The present IPB has normal cylindrical conductor made of aluminum or copper at center outer jacket generates very huge Joule loss. To decrease it, superconducting buses have been developing. In this study, 22-kV 3-kA triaxial was designed fabricated with YBa2Cu3O7-d (YBCO) tapes various kinds properties were investigated. Previously, ac lightning impulse withstand voltage test, critical...
