CHARACTERIZATION OF SUPERCONDUCTING COMPONENTS USING PSPICE

A customer library of superconducting (SC) components for the PSPICE i s under development in our group. The new library includes models of b oth low and high T-c superconductor based components. For large scale applications typical examples of simulated components are: a SC filame nt, composite wire and tape, a cable, a magnet, a switch, a transforme r, a rectifier. Each model can be easily customised for a particular a pplication. When the scheme is ready, it can be analysed using the pow erful tools offered by PSPICE. The current status of the theory and mo del development and a few typical examples together with brief review of the practical conductors are presented and discussed in the paper.
