High-temperature superconducting (HTS) technology is the most promising, advanced, and beneficial technological developments of the last two decades in terms of fabricating more efficient, compact, and reliable electrical power apparatus. The second-generation HTS wires are now quite competitive with traditional conductors from the cost point of view. In addition, they are of high interest in electrical machine manufacturing due to their unique merits such as high current density, high magnetic field, and low loss. The most significant issue for any superconducting devices which work with alternating current or magnetic field is the AC loss of the HTS tapes. Since HTS tapes are always exposed to an external magnetic field in electrical machine applications, it is vital to consider the effect of this external field on their AC magnetizing (ACMG) loss. It is well-known that external magnetic field decreases the current carrying capability of the wire. In real life, critical current density of HTS tapes is dependent to magnetic field but this dependency sometime was not considered in modeling stage in order to make it faster and simple. In this paper, the electromagnetic properties of HTS tapes for use in superconducting electric machines have been investigated with a particular focus on the ACMG loss of YBCO tapes. For this purpose, a two-dimensional finite element model has been implemented based on the H formulation in order to study the effect of dependency of critical current density to magnetic field on the variation of ACMG loss. The modeling results will be helpful for electrical machine designers to have a better understanding about this effect and have a more accurate estimate of ACMG loss in design stage.
