Abstract

An experimental set-up was designed for measuring the self-field losses of Bi2223/Ag HTS tapes using a transport current method. The frequency of transport current can be freely changed from 0.5 Hz to 1000Hz. Its amplitude can be as much as 100A. The self-field losses of Bi2223/Ag tapes, which are made by the traditional PIT method with the critical current of 15.5A and SC/Ag ratio of about 0.25 were measured at 77K with different frequency transport currents. The results are compared with those predicted by the Norris equations based on the critical state model. When the frequency of AC current is low, the AC losses of Bi2223/Ag multifilamentary tapes are domestically hysterestic; As soon as the frequencies are more than 200 Hz, the eddy current losses can not be neglected.
