Summary

A passive voltage-current simulator has been developed and tested using conventional direct current and pulse current methods. It was designed to generate the extremely non-linear voltage-current characteristic of a superconductor and has a similar power-law behaviour. It is intended to be used to test various components of the measurement system to determine the transport critical current of a superconductor. This simulator approximates a superconductor's major static and dynamic electrical characteristics. Critical currents obtained on the simulator using the pulse and direct current methods are compared and show close agreement.
