14、oy-sheathed Bi-2212 and Bi-2223 oxide superconductors FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operat
15、ion on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “
16、IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this prepar
17、ation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consen
18、sus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts ar
19、e made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications tr
20、ansparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot
21、 be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and memb
22、ers of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication o
23、r any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication m
24、ay be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 61788-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 90: Superconductivity. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2000. Mo
25、difications made to the second version mostly involve wording and essentially include no technical changes. Examples of technical changes introduced include the voltage lead diameter being smaller than 0,21 mm and the mode of expression for magnetic field accuracy being 1 % and 0,02 T instead of 1 %
26、. The expression for magnetic field precision has been changed in the same way. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 90/184/FDIS 90/190/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated

Mueller discovered that some Perovskite type Cu-containing oxides show superconductivity at temperatures far above those which me
35、tallic superconductors have shown. Since then, extensive R & D work on high-temperature oxide superconductors has been and is being made worldwide, and its application to high-field magnet machines, low-loss power transmission, electronics and many other technologies is in progress 1. 1)Fabrication
36、technology is essential to the application of high-temperature oxide super- conductors. Among high-temperature oxide superconductors developed so far, BiSrCaCu oxide (Bi-2212 and Bi-2223) superconductors have been the most successful at being fabricated into wires and tapes of practical length and s
37、uperconducting properties. These conductors can be wound into a magnet to generate a magnetic field of several tesla 2. It has also been shown that Bi-2212 and Bi-2223 conductors can substantially raise the limit of magnetic field generation by a superconducting magnet 3. In summer 1993, VAMAS-TWA16
38、 started working on the test methods of critical currents in Bi-oxide superconductors. In September 1997, the TWA16 worked out a guideline (VAMAS guideline) on the critical current measurement method for Ag-sheathed Bi-2212 and Bi-2223 oxide superconductors. This pre-standardization work of VAMAS wa
39、s taken as the base for the IEC standard, described in the present document, on the dc critical current test method of Ag-sheathed Bi-2212 and Bi-2223 oxide superconductors. The test method covered in this International Standard is intended to give an appropriate and agreeable technical base to thos
40、e engineers working in the field of superconductivity technology. The critical current of composite superconductors like Ag-sheathed Bi-oxide superconductors depends on many variables. These variables need to be considered in both the testing and the application of these materials. Test conditions s
41、uch as magnetic field, temperature and relative orientation of the specimen and magnetic field are determined by the particular application. The test configuration may be determined by the particular conductor through certain tolerances. The specific critical current criterion may be determined by t
42、he particular application. It may be appropriate to measure a number of test specimens if there are irregularities in testing. 1)The numbers in brackets refer to the bibliography. 6 61788-3 IEC:2006(E) SUPERCONDUCTIVITY Part 3: Critical current measurement DC critical current of Ag- and/or Ag alloy-
43、sheathed Bi-2212 and Bi-2223 oxide superconductors 1 Scope This part of IEC 61788 covers a test method for the determination of the dc critical current of short and straight Ag- and/or Ag alloy-sheathed Bi-2212 and Bi-2223 oxide superconductors that have a monolithic structure and a shape of round w
44、ire or flat or square tape containing mono- or multicores of oxides. This method is intended for use with superconductors that have critical currents less than 500 A and n-values larger than 5. The test is carried out with and without an applying external magnetic field. For all tests in a magnetic
45、field, the magnetic field is perpendicular to the length of the specimen. In the test of a tape specimen in a magnetic field, the magnetic field is parallel or perpendicular to the wider tape surface (or one surface if square). The test specimen is immersed either in a liquid helium bath or a liquid
46、 nitrogen bath during testing. Deviations from this test method that are allowed for routine tests and other specific restrictions are given in this standard. 2 Normative reference The following referenced document is indispensable for the application of this document.
