Superconductivity - Part 21: Superconducting wires - Test Methods for Practical Superconducting Wires General Characteristics and Guidance

This part of IEC 61788 specifies the test methods used for validating the mechanical, electrical,
and superconducting properties of practical SC wires. A wire is considered as being practical if
it can be procured in sufficiently continuous lengths under ordinary commercial transactions to
build devices. Conductors made of multiple wires, such as cables, are not included in the scope
of this part of IEC 61788. Extension of the discussions in this part of IEC 61788 beyond practical
SC wires is not intended, even though referenced documents include aspects outside of this
scope.

Superprevodnost - 21. del: Superprevodne žice - Metode preskušanja splošnih karakteristik praktičnih superprevodnih žic in navodila

Ta del standarda IEC 61788 določa metode preskušanja, ki se uporabljajo za potrjevanje mehanskih, električnih in superprevodnih lastnosti praktičnih superprevodnih (SC) žic. Žica velja za praktično, če jo je mogoče dobaviti v dovolj dolgih neprekinjenih dolžinah v okviru običajnih komercialnih poslov za gradnjo naprav. Prevodniki iz več žic, kot so kabli, so zunaj področja uporabe tega dela standarda IEC 61788. Razširitev razprav v tem delu standarda IEC 61788 poleg praktičnih superprevodnih žic ni načrtovana, čeprav referenčni dokumenti zajemajo vidike zunaj tega področja uporabe.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in
addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses
arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61788-21 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 90:
Superconductivity.

INTRODUCTION
Superconducting (SC) wires are a central and often enabling technology of many important
industrial products. Consensus-based standards for SC wires greatly facilitate the creation of
procurement specifications, design and engineering of components, certification of quality,
description of operating devices, and generalization of use in industrial technologies.
This part of IEC 61788 is ranked as a first priority for both producers and users of
superconducting technology: It provides the measurement methods and test procedures for
properties critical to use. Adherence to normative information assists the development of
commercial markets and the distribution of products. Standardization in this regard is meant to
provide common access to, and unarguable reference information about, characteristics that are
most important for superconductor-based technologies.
This part of IEC 61788 includes the measurement principles and measurement techniques
together with the relevant terminology and definitions. Specifications of SC wire products take
into account the function of the different components of SC wires to meet operational needs,
maintain operational (superconducting) conditions, and accommodate mechanical forces a
