Abstract

The influence of a self-field on the critical current density J c for a REBCO superconducting tape is presented in this paper. The distributions of the current density and magnetic field are analyzed in the tape under three kinds of conditions, i.e., applying an external magnetic field only, applying a transport current only, and applying a transport current together with an external magnetic field. In the analysis, the two-dimensional Poisson equation for the vector potential is employed. For the convenience of calculation, that the dependence of critical current versus the perpendicular and parallel fields tested from experiment is substituted for the traditional Kim-type or Bean model. The results show that the distributions of the current density and magnetic field in the REBCO tape change for the different frequencies and amplitudes of the transport current I a and applied magnetic field B a.
