Multifilamentary superconducting wires with a greatly reduced level of losses have been produced with unit lengths of several tens of kilometers. The authors manufactured three industrial wires named L, T, and S, comprising respectively 377982, 597102 and 920304 filaments, 0.14 {mu}m in diameter with a 0.13 {mu}m spacing between filaments. The characteristics of these wires are already published and the authors have tested coils made with (6 + 1) cables of each kind of strands (L, T, and S), the results are also published in A.S.C.90. In this paper, the results of coil tests performed with a (6 + 1) of L strand from 0 to 100 Hz are given, as well as the first results of the tests of coils made with two stage cables (6 + 1){sup 2} with L, T and S strands.
