Influence of AC Transport Current Balance on AC Loss in a Two Layered Polygonal YBCO Assembled Conductor.

In high temperature superconducting (HTS) AC applications, HTS tapes are assembled into high current capacity conductors. We previously reported our experimental results showing the AC loss reduction in a polygonal arranged single layer YBCO assembled conductor. The AC loss reduction is greatest in round shape arrangements. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
