Abstract
One important issue in the design and optimization of a
superconducting cable conductor is the control of the current
distribution between single tapes and layers. This presentation is
based on a number of experiments performed on a 4-layer three
meter long prototype superconducting cable conductor.The self and
mutual inductances of the layers are studied theoretically. The
current distribution between the superconducting layers is
monitored as a function of transport current. The results are
compared with the expected current distribution given by our
equivalent electrical circuit model. The AC-losses are measured as
a function of transport current and a given current distribution
and compared with the monoblock model. Recommendations for design
of future cable conductor prototypes are given.
