Transition frequency of transport ac losses in high temperature superconducting coated conductors

Résumé

Experimental data reveal that the classical description of transport ac losses in high-temperature superconducting (HTS)-coated conductors (CCs), based on investigations at low frequencies, is incomplete in some aspects when transport currents in the kilohertz range are considered. More specifically, above a certain "transition frequency," the ac losses per cycle no longer increase with the frequency as the theory predicts. Using a finite element model to allow for loss separation, we find that this phenomenon is caused by a combination of several factors that appear only above the transition frequency: the hysteresis and ferromagnetic losses per cycle are no longer independent of the frequency , while the eddy current losses per cycle no longer increase proportionally to the frequency. Based on a circuit model, we propose that the physical reason for this is that when the frequency increases, part of the supercurrent starts migrating into the metallic path. We argue that the current in the metallic path is not an eddy current but a transport current inductively coupled to the superconducting current. Finally, we discuss the relationship between the magnetic material magnetization, the critical current, and the transport current frequency. This study provides explicit insights into the frequency-dependent transport ac losses of HTS CCs in a broad frequency band, which is valuable for the design and optimization of HTS CC-based power devices.
