Abstract
A conductor element consisting of laminated stack of high temperature superconductor (HTS) powder-in-tube (PIT) tapes is suitable for incorp oration into current leads. The details of an application of such cond uctor elements to a current lead for a SMES system are presented. The fabrication of the laminated-conductor elements made with BSCCO 2223 P IT tapes is described. The critical current measurement method and res ults for two such conductor elements are presented. Performance was ev aluated with variable temperatures and with variable applied fields.
