The operating conditions of superconductors in these applications determine much of their behavi
21、our, and tests made with the method given in this part of IEC 61788 may be used to provide part of the information needed to determine the suitability of a specific superconductor. Results obtained from this method may also be used for detecting changes in the superconducting properties of a composi
22、te superconductor due to processing variables, handling, ageing or other applications or environmental conditions. This method is useful for quality control, acceptance or research testing, if the precautions given in this standard are observed. The critical current of composite superconductors depe
23、nds on many variables. These variables need to be considered in both the testing and the application of these materials. Test conditions such as magnetic field, temperature and relative orientation of the specimen, current and magnetic field are determined by the particular application. The test con
24、figuration may be determined by the particular conductor through certain tolerances. The specific critical current criterion may be determined by the particular application. It may be appropriate to measure a number of test specimens if there are irregularities in testing. 4 EN 61788-1:2007 SUPERCON
25、DUCTIVITY Part 1: Critical current measurement DC critical current of Nb-Ti composite superconductors 1 Scope This part of IEC 61788 covers a test method for the determination of the d.c. critical current of either Cu/Nb-Ti composite superconductors that have a copper/superconductor ratio larger tha
26、n 1 or Cu/Cu-Ni/Nb-Ti wires that have a copper/superconductor ratio larger than 0,9 and a copper alloy (Cu-Ni)/superconductor ratio larger than 0,2, where the diameter of Nb-Ti superconducting filaments is larger than 1 m. The changes for the Cu/Cu-Ni/Nb-Ti are described in Annex C. The Cu-Ni uses a
27、ll of the main part of the standard with the exceptions listed in Annex C that replace (and in some cases are counter to) some of the steps in the main text. This method is intended for use with superconductors that have critical currents less than 1 000 A and n-values larger than 12, under standard
28、 test conditions and at magnetic fields less than or equal to 0,7 of the upper critical magnetic field. The test specimen is immersed in a liquid helium bath at a known temperature during testing. The test conductor has a monolithic structure with a round or rectangular cross-sectional area that is
29、less than 2 mm2. The specimen geometry used in this test method is an inductively coiled specimen. Deviations from this test method that are allowed for routine tests and other specific restrictions are given in this standard. Test conductors with critical currents above 1 000 A or cross-sectional a
30、reas greater than 2 mm2could be measured with the present method with an anticipated increase in uncertainty and a more significant self-field effect (see Annex B). Other, more specialized, specimen test geometries may be more appropriate for larger conductor testing which have been omitted from thi
31、s present standard for simplicity and to retain a lower uncertainty. The test method given in this standard is expected to apply to other superconducting composite wires after some appropriate modifications. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the applicat

41、ber of appropriately distributed points along the U-I curve and held constant at each one of these points while acquiring a number of voltages and current readings 4 Principle The critical current of a composite superconductor is determined from a voltage (U) current (I) characteristic measured at a
42、 certain value of a static applied magnetic field strength (magnetic field) at a specified temperature in a liquid cryogen bath at a constant pressure. To get a U-I characteristic, a direct current is applied to the superconductor specimen and the voltage generated along a section of the specimen is
43、 measured. The current is increased from zero and the U-I characteristic generated is recorded. The critical current is determined as the current at which a specific electric field strength (electric field) criterion (Ec) or resistivity criterion (c) is reached. For either Ecor c, there is a corresp
44、onding voltage criterion (Uc) for a specified voltage tap separation. 5 Requirements The critical current of a superconductor shall be measured by applying a direct current (I) to the superconductor specimen and then measuring the voltage (U) generated along a section of the specimen. The current sh
45、all be increased from zero and the voltage-current (U-I) characteristic generated and recorded. The specimen shall be affixed to the measurement mandrel with sufficient tension or a low temperature adhesive. NOTE 1 Exception C.2.1 replaces this sentence for Cu/Cu-Ni/Nb-Ti specimens. The target uncer
46、tainty of this method is defined as a coefficient of variation (standard deviation divided by the average of the critical current determinations) that shall not exceed 3 % in an interlaboratory comparison. NOTE 2 Exception C.2.2 replaces this sentence for Cu/Cu-Ni/Nb-Ti specimens. The use of a commo
47、n current transfer correction is excluded from this test method. Furthermore, if a current transfer signature is pronounced in the measurement, then the measurement shall be considered invalid. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to consult and establish appropriate safety and heal
48、th practices, and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific precautionary statements are given below. 7 EN 61788-1:2007 Hazards exist in this type of measurement.

It is imperative to isolate and protect current leads from shorting. Also the stored energy in superconducting magnets commonly used for the background magnetic field can cause similar large current and/or voltage pulses or deposit large amounts of thermal energy in the cryo
