Review on ac losses in superconductors

Conference · · IEEE Trans. Magn.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6382772
Recent results are reported pertaining to research of ac losses in superconductors with regard to magnet technology. Emphasis is on aspects which are important in demonstrating the technical feasibility and economical advantages of ac superconducting windings. In the domain of hysteresis losses the paper reports the extension of the theory of losses in a superconducting cylinder placed in transverse alternating and/or rotating magnetic field of arbitrary amplitude as well as on the problems related to the case when the field is not perpendicular to the cylinder axis and the anisotropy of pinning force is important. Results obtained in the research of eddy current and coupling current losses at high amplitudes and rates of field variation, as well as in presence of dc and/or ac transport current in multifilamentary conductors in transverse alternating and/or rotating fields are discussed. 52 refs.
