Zusammenfassung:This paper presents a study of the total ac loss characteristics of a rolling-assisted biaxially textured substrate (RABiTS) YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 (YBCO) sample exposed to a parallel ac magnetic field. The results have shown that, for a given applied magnetic field and transport current, a RABiTS YBCO tape can generate very different magnitudes of ac loss, depending on whether the transport current and applied field have the same phase or opposite phase. The results of this study are very important for the optimization of the design of a RABiTS YBCO cable because they can suggest an appropriate arrangement of RABiTS tapes in a cable to minimize the cable ac loss. In this study, both experimental and finite-element method simulation approaches were employed. A modeling model that takes the magnetic field dependent permeability and ferromagnetic loss of the substrate into account reproduced well the experimental data for both self-field and total ac losses.
