Abstract
With focus on the application in rotating electric machines we measured the dependence of current capacity of Ag/Bi-2223 wires on temperature and magnetic field. Even for wires stemming from a single manufacturer we observe a significant spread of wire properties. We study different temperature and magnetic field dependence by a parallel path model which allows for a quantitative analysis. The implications of experiments and modelling are discussed with regard to the further wire development and for application within windings.
