Abstract
Self-field loss measurements at 77 K on a superconducting (Bi, Pb)(2)Sr2Ca2 Cu3O10/AgAu tape with twisted filaments are presented. Using the first- and third-harmonic components of the electric field, the hysteretic losses are separated from the total loss. At peak transport currents less than half t he critical current, the hysteretic losses are considerably reduced. Howeve r, sizable nonhysteretic losses are also observed. At higher currents, the hysteretic loss increases, dominating the total loss, and is similar to tha t for an untwisted tape. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-695 1(00)03626-3].
