Abstract
Here we suggest stable maximum temperature criteria of YBCO coated conductors (CCs) considering degradation of YBCO by repetitive exposure to excessive temperature rise. Stable maximum permissible temperature was experimentally determined as the maximum temperature at which CC does not suffer from critical current (Ic) degradation or burnout. By comparing various over-current characteristics with short-circuit characteristics in regards to the pattern of generated resistance and joule heating flux, maximum permissible temperature rise of YBCO CC in superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) can be determined as 400 K. Our research is expected to provide rudimental basis for the temperature design of various superconducting power applications including SFCL.
