Long lengths of Ag-clad mono- and multifilament BSCCO conductors were fabricated by the powder-in-tube technique. The critical current density (J {sub c}) of a 114-m-long monofilament conductor was {approx}12,000 A/cm{sup 2} (critical current, I{sub c}, {approx}20 A). A 1,260-m-long multifilament conductor, containing 37 filaments, carried an I{sub c} of I 8 A, corresponding to a J {sub c} of 12,000 A/cm{sup 2}. Pancake- and racetrack-shaped coils were wound from the long-length conductors. A high-{Tc} magnet, fabricated by stacking the pancake coils, generated a self-field of {approx}3.2 T at 4.2 K. A 0.25 KVA high-{Tc} transformer has been developed with the use of the racetrack-wound solenoid.
