Abstract :
A description of voltage-current characteristics VCC (T,B) is presented in this paper. To describe an experimental VCC (T,B) database of ITER Nb3Sn strands a relation is used containing four fitting parameters. Three parameters, namely: C, Tcm (0), and Hcm (0) describe IC(T,B) and one additional parameter characterizes the smoothness of the transition. The question is considered on the accuracy of measurement of the T, B, and I values needed to determine the fitting parameters accurately.
