A superconducting cable consisting of a several layers is described theoretically. Discretised equations are given that can be used to describe the current distribution in the cable as a function of cable current. Solutions are worked out for the case of an ideal Bean type II superconductor, taking

β¦ Synopsis
We have developed a calorimeter with a sensitivity of better than 1 mW/m for measuring AC losses in HTS multi-strand conductors for superconducting power transmission lines over a temperature range of 64 K to 80 K. By choosing a temperature difference technique we eliminate the need for corrections due to heating at the cable end connections. Use of a three-phase configuration allows measurement of single-phase, three-phase, and coupling losses. The 60 Hz calorimeter power supply has a capacity of 2500 A rms.

AC losses have been measured as a function of current and temperature in a 63.5 mm diameter niobium/copper composite tube, forming the inner conductor of a co-axial superconducting transmission line. The conductor has a 2.6 mm thick substrate of highconductivity copper with a 50 #m thick niobium sur
A technique for measuring ac losses in superconducting magnets is described. Two signals, a compensated voltage integral across the magnet and a magnet current differential, are multiplied in a Hall probe multiplier. The result is integrated and digitally displayed. The loss per cycle in a range of
The forced flow superconducting coil especially made from a cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) is applied for large-scale devices such as fusion magnets because it has high mechanical and electrical performance potential. It has merits for application for pulsed operation coils such as fusion magnets
