Numerical study on AC transport current loss measurement of HTS assembled conductor by pick-up loop without electrical contacts

Numerical studies on a AC transport loss measurement method for assembled conductors of multiple HTS tapes in multi-layer polygonal arrangement by using a spiral pick-up loop without electrical contacts are presented in this paper. The previously developed numerical model to analyze the electro-magnetic field distribution and the AC loss in the HTS tape in the polygonally assembled conductor was modified. The AC loss measurement using the spiral pick-up loop for single and multi layered polygonal conductors assembled by this HTS tapes was numerically simulated. The detection properties of the AC transport loss by the spiral pick-up loop were evaluated and the validity of this measurement method was verified.
