| Popis: | A method to calculate the AC loss of superconducting power devices from the measured AC loss of a short sample is developed. In coils and cables the magnetic field varies spatially. The position dependent field vector is calculated assuming a homogeneous current distribution. From this field profile and the transport current, the local AC loss is calculated. Integration over the conductor length yields the AC loss of the device. The total AC loss of the device is split up in different components. Magnetization loss, transport current loss and the loss due to the combined action of field and current all contribute to the AC loss of the device. Because ways to reduce the AC loss depend on the loss mechanism it is important to know the relative contribution of each component. The method is demonstrated on a prototype transformer coil wound from Bi/sub 2/Sr/sub 2/Ca/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub x//Ag superconducting tape. Differences between the model assumptions and devices are pointed out. Nevertheless, within the uncertainty margins the calculated AC loss is in agreement with the measured loss of the coil. |
