Low field characteristics, including field orientation dependence relations for four different commercially available REBCO tapes, were investigated in an external field of up to 0.3 T at 77 K. A design method of the performance of a twisted stacked-tape conductor (TSTC) has been developed for a power transmission line. Cable critical current is obtained from an averaged self-field distributed over the cable cross section and the minimum critical current obtained from the field orientation dependence in transverse fields experimentally measured for the single tapes. The performance of three types of TSTCs, i.e., single-, double-, and triple-channel configurations, has been assessed for the four REBCO tapes.
