The results of measurements of low frequency AC losses in a cylindrical YBa,Cu3OT\_x sample subjected to a sinusoidally varying magnetic field, with a coaxially superimposed DC-bias field, are presented. It is found that magnetic history effects are not observed if only the AC field is applied. A qu

โฆ Synopsis
The AC energy dissipation of high-2~, superconducting wires is an important factor which will determine the feasibilit.~ ol highpower transmission lines using these materials. To obtain a better understanding of AC power loss mechanisms and to determine if their level is acceptable for this application, the losses of Y-and Bi-based samples, prepared by' different processes, were measured at 77 K when carrying an alternating current or subjected to a time-varying magnetic field. Hysteresis was tbund to be thc dominant mechanism and the critical state model well describes the experimental results of the weak-link-flee samples. Melttexturing processes greatly reduce the granularity behavior and the AC losses.
