T. Hoshino et al., Conductor pitch effect on an eddy current loss of the superconducting power cable using the disassembled cable "N" data, IEEE APPL S, 9(2), 1999, pp. 1277-1280
The origin of the difference between measured AC loss and that of the short
sample test has been studied. The axial field due to disordered pitch of c
onductor and shield tapes has trivial effect on the eddy current loss in th
e stabilizer. The displacement of the current direction on the conductor fr
om its lay angle makes comparable eddy current loss.
