Description:

(abstract)

High temperature superconducting cables are necessary for next-generation high-field accelerator magnets, and various types of HTS cables have been developed worldwide. We have started the development of HTS cables in which rare-earth barium copper oxide coated conductors are spirally wound around a flexible multi-wire core. In this study, we constructed five sample cables with a 2-mm-wide coated conductor and a 1.8-mm-diameter multi-wire core. The transport critical current of the coated conductors used for the sample cables was measured at 77 K and 4.2 K. At 4.2 K, the Ic was measured in a perpendicular magnetic field from 1 T to 18 T. The transport Ic and bending properties of the sample cables were characterized at 77 K.Thecable Ic degraded 10–16% due to the cable construction and 10% after bending the cable with a radius of 20mm.The cable current density at 20 T and 4.2 K was estimated as a function of the cable diameter.
