Variants of HTS CroCos
The manufacturing process can be flexibly adapted to the special requirements of the HTS CroCo application, so the number and dimensions of the soldered strips can be modified. An overview of the best-studied HTS CroCo geometries and their properties of this HTS can be found in the table below.
| 6/4 HTS CroCo | 4/3 HTS CroCo | 3/2 HTS CroCo | |
| Typical number of REBCO tapes |
22 x 6 mm 10 x 4 mm |
20 x 4 mm 10 x 3 mm |
18 x 3 mm 10 x 2 mm |
| Cross-diagonal | 7,2 mm | 5,0 mm | 3,6 mm |
| Ic (T=77 K, self field) | 3100 A | 2000 A | 1460 A |
| Ic (T = 4.2 K, B = 12 T) | > 10 kA | ~ 9.5 kA | 4,9 kA |
