ABSTRACTPractical applications of YBCO coated conductors (CC) involving superconducting coils will utilize tapes packed together in an arrangement resembling a vertical stack. In such configuration there is an important electromagnetic interaction between the tapes, which strongly influences the loss characteristic of the device.In the presence of an external magnetic field, the losses are reduced compared to an isolated tape because of the reduced aspect ratio of the conductor and, at least for low fields, because of an effective screening of the central part of the stack. On the contrary, in the case of AC transport current, the losses tend to increase due to the enhancement of the local field caused by the interaction of the self-field produced by neighboring tapes. In practical situations the conductor is usually subjected to both transport current and magnetic field, so that there is a trade-off between the two effects.In this paper we investigate, both experimentally and by means of finite-element method calculations, the ac loss behavior of a stack composed by a finite number of tapes in different working conditions, and we compare the AC losses to the ones of non-interacting tapes in order to determine if the use of stacked tapes is advantageous from the point of view of power dissipation.

A 17 T high-temperature superconducting two-coil magnet (insert) to be operated in a 15 T low-temperature superconducting multisection magnet (outsert) is the most demanding part of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory all-superconducting 32 T magnet system. The HTS coils are of the pancake type and to be wound with REBCO coated conductors/tapes manufactured by SuperPower, Inc. The distribution of AC losses in the HTS windings during the magnet charging/discharging process are computed and analyzed with due regard for the AC loss density dependence on the magnetic field and the field angle. The calculations are based on the measured magnetization of a representative sample against magnetic field and field angle. The results enable determination of heat load on the magnet and its cryogenic system. Since the magnet is of the pool-cooled type, a related helium vapor bubble problem can develop owing to the high field and field gradients, and the diamagnetic susceptibility of helium.
