Abstract

When an alternating current is supplied to a super-conducting multi-stranded cable, the quench current value of the cable was observed to be less than the simple summation of individual quench current value of each strand. One of the causes for such a degradation was attributed to the nonuniform of the current distribution in multi-stranded cable due to magnetic mutual coupling among the strands. The degradation of the superconducting cable is evaluated theoretically by taking into account the magnetic coupling among the strands.
