Abstract
A two-dimensional finite element model has been developed to explore the stability of high-T c Ag/BSCCO superconducting tapes operating at 4.2 K and 20 K. This approach allows the broad range of temperature during a transition and the strong temperature dependence of the material properties of both the superconductor and the Ag stabilizer to be considered explicitly. The magnitude of a 5 ms pulse required to quench the conductor is determined for several cases and it is shown that a three-dimensional model is needed.
