Summary

Advanced ac loss measurement methods for superconducting tapes are described in detail and demonstrated on BSCCO/Ag (BSCCO with a Ag matrix) tapes in liquid nitrogen at 77 K. The aim of the measurements is to simulate the situation of a tape conductor in an electric power application like a transformer coil or a power cable. The magnetization loss measurement setup for unidirectional and rotating magnetic field is described. The transport current loss measurement setup is described, focusing on the suppression of cross effects of ac transport current and ac magnetic field that disturb accurate measurements. Finally several relevant examples of the results obtained are shown.
