Non-Contact Measurement of Current Distribution in Striated CTCC

We have proposed continuously transposed coated conductor (CTCC) in striation for power devices reducing AC loss. It consists of a number of coated conductors with filaments made by striation. The transport of current may distribute non-uniformity in the filament particularly while CTCC conducts AC current. The array of Hall sensors is capable of measuring the current distribution in the filaments and in conductors. However, the search coil array may be applied as ersatz for Hall array in case of existing AC current. The filamentary CTCCs are prepared and the current distribution is then measured by the array of search coils.
