DC performance, AC loss and transient field stability of five medium size NbTi cable-in-conduit conductors with parametric variations

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov, Rainer Wesche, Martin Vogel

Five medium size NbTi cable-in-conduit conductors with parametric variations in the cable layout were fabricated of three different strands to investigate their DC performance, AC loss behaviour and transient stability by means of the SULTAN facility. A co ...

The new TAE - Alfvén Wave Active Excitation System at JET

Ambrogio Fasoli, Laurent Villard, Duccio Testa, René Chavan, Robert Bertizzolo

After many years of successful operation, the JET saddle coil system will be dismantled during the 2004-2005 shutdown. A new antenna system has been designed and is being constructed to replace it and excite magneto-hydrodynamics modes in the Alfvén freque ...

Prediction of resistive and hysteretic losses in a multi-layer high-Tc superconducting cable

Francesco Grilli, Marten Sjöström

In this work, a model of a multi-layer high-Tc superconducting (HTS) cable that computes the current distribution across layers as well as the AC loss is presented. Analyzed is the case of a four-layer cable, but the developed method can be applied to a ca ...

Comparison of current characteristics of lightning strokes measured at the CN tower and at other elevated objects

Since 1991, a broadband, high-resolution current measurement system has captured the lightning current derivative at the Toronto CN Tower. In this paper, extensive statistics (1992-2001) of CN Tower lightning current waveform parameters (maximum steepness ...

Induced current calculations for low frequency EMF exposure assessment

Michel Ianoz

The effect of low and intermediate frequency external electric and magnetic fields on humans is to induce currents in the human body. As it is not possible to introduce sensors inside the body to measure these currents it was decided to develop calculation ...
