Abstract

Applications of the HTS coils are rapidly increasing since the Sumitomo´s DI-BSCCO HTS wire has been developed and commercialized. This DI-BSCCO wire has almost the same mechanical properties as that of the copper wire while it can load a hundred times current. One of the applications of the HTS coils is the motor for the ship propulsion system. It reduces carbon dioxide emissions and contributes the anti-global warming action. Other application is the high-field magnets for the R&D activities. Fabrication of coils for these applications was carried out without difficulties thanks to its improved mechanical properties. The test results show the effectiveness of the DI-BSCCO wire
