Performance of coils wound from long lengths of surface-coated, reacted, BSCCO-2212 conductor

Tests were conducted on the performance of coils based on long length, surface-coated, react-before-wind BSCCO-2212 high temperature conductors for such applications as transformer windings and nuclear magnetic resonance insert magnets. The coils functioned properly under thermal cycling and other tests. Superconductor costs for magnet systems may be reduced by half by using BSCCO-2212 augmented by BSCCO-2223 conductors.
