SuperCurrent Ic Measurement System

The SuperCurrent™ Ic Measurement System is a cryogen-free instrument for automated critical current (Ic) measurements of high-temperature superconductor (HTS) wires and tapes. It integrates a high-field split-pair magnet and a comprehensive measurement setup for characterising superconducting wires under varying conditions of temperature, magnetic field, and field angle relative to the sample.

Features

Wide measurement range

Designed specifically for HTS conductor assessment, the SuperCurrent system delivers detailed electrical transport data over wide field and temperature ranges. This wire property information is indispensable to superconducting machine design and wire manufacture.

  • 5, 8, and 12 T split-pair magnet options, featuring low fringe-field
  • 20 T magnet option under development
  • Sample cooling to 15 K using dedicated He gas circulation system
  • Transport current to over 1600 A
  • Sample rotation 0-360°
  • No liquid cryogens
  • Turn-key system

High-throughput, high-quality data

The SuperCurrent automated critical current measurement system is the tool utilised for the widely recognized Robinson Research Institute HTS wire database, available on the Victory University website. High-throughput, high-fidelity data collection arises from:

  • Rapid sample exchange and cooling
  • A complete software package providing Ic measurement automation and analysis, allowing unattended high-resolution data collection
  • Flexibility in measurement:
    • Ic(T,B,θ ) n-value
    • R(T)
    • 1G, 2G, MgB2
