Abstract :
A calorimeter for measuring AC losses in meter-long lengths of HTS superconducting power transmission line cables is described. The calorimeter, which is based on a temperature difference technique, has a precision of 1 mW and measures single-, two-phase (coupling), and three-phase losses. The authors´ measurements show significant coupling losses between phases.
