Improved technique to measure electronically ac losses in superconducting cables

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6351230
An improved electronic method for measuring ac losses in superconducting cables of lengths from 1m to 10m has been developed and is described. This method compensates for phase shifts in the measuring circuit elements and for imbalance of the difference amplifier due to changes in the common mode voltage. This measuring method is being further improved and adapted to the loss measurements of the Brookhaven National Laboratory 138V, 4 kA, 100 m long superconducting cable now under construction. (LCL)
