Superconductivity -- Part 11: Residual resistance ratio measurement - Residual resistance ratio of Nb3Sn composite superconductors
Covers a test method for the determination of the residual resistance ratio (RRR) of Nb3Sn composite conductors. This method is intended for use with superconductor specimens that have a monolithic structure with a rectangular or round cross section, RRR less than 350 and cross-sectional area less than 3 mm2, and have received a reaction heat-treatment. Ideally, it is intended that the specimens are as straight as possible; however, this is not always the case, thus care must be taken to measure the specimen in its as received condition. All measurements are done without an applied magnetic field. The method described in the body of this standard is the reference method; optional acquisition methods are outlined in Annex A.

Supraconductivité -- Partie 11: Mesure du rapport de résistance résiduelle - Rapport de résistance résiduelle des supraconducteurs composites de Nb3Sn
Spécifie une méthode d'essai pour la détermination du rapport de résistance résiduelle (RRR) des conducteurs composites de Nb3Sn. Cette méthode est destinée à être utilisée avec des éprouvettes de supraconducteurs présentant une structure monolithique avec une section rectangulaire ou circulaire, un rapport RRR inférieur à 350, une surface de section inférieure à 3 mm2, et qui ont reçu un traitement thermique de réaction. Dans l'absolu, il est prévu que les éprouvettes soient aussi droites que possible; cependant, ce n'est pas toujours le cas, c'est pourquoi il faut s'assurer que la mesure est effectuée sur des éprouvettes en l'état de livraison. Toutes les mesures sont effectuées sans appliquer de champ magnétique. La méthode décrite dans le corps de texte de la présente norme est la méthode de "référence"; des méthodes d'acquisition facultatives sont présentées à l'annexe A.

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61788-11 has been prepared by IEC Technical Committee 90:
Superconductivity.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
90/131/FDIS 90/134/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until 2007.
At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
Copper or aluminium is used as stabilizer material in multifilamentary Nb Sn superconductors
3
and works as an electrical shunt when the superconductivity is interrupted. It also contributes
to recovery of the superconductivity by conducting the heat generated in the superconductor
to the surrounding coolant. The resistivity of copper used in the composite superconductor in
the cryogenic temperature region is an important quantity which influences the stability of
the superconductor. The residual resistance ratio is defined as a ratio of the resistance of the
superconductor at room temperature to that just above the superconducting transition.
In this International Standard, the test method for the residual resistance ratio of Nb Sn
3
composite superconductors is described. The curve method is employed for the measurement
of the resistance just above the superconducting transition. Other methods are described in
clause A.2.

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61788 covers a test method for the determination of the residual resistance
ratio (RRR)of Nb Sn composite conductors. This method is intended for use with
3
superconductor specimens that have a monolithic structure with a rectangular or round cross
2
section, RRR less than 350 and cross-sectional area less than 3 mm , and have received a
reaction heat-treatment. Ideally, it is intended that the specimens are as straight as possible;
however, this is not always the case, thus care must be taken to measure the specimen in its
as received condition. All measurements are done without an applied magnetic field.
The method described in the body of this standard is the “reference” method; optional
acquisition methods are outlined in Annex A.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition
of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this part of IEC 61788, the terms and definitions given in IEC 60050-815
and the following apply.
3.1
residual resistance ratio
RRR (abbreviation)
the ratio of resistance at room temperature to the resistance just above the superconducting
transition
The residual resistance ratio of the composite wire is obtained in equation (1) below, where
the resistance (R ) at room temperature (20 °C) is divided by the resistance (R ) just above
1 2
the superconducting transition.

Figure 1 shows schematically a voltage versus temperature curve acquired on a specimen
while measuring cryogenic resistance. Draw a line in Figure 1 where the voltage sharply
increases (a), and draw also a line in Figure 1 where the voltage increases gradually (b) with
temperature. The value of resistance at the intersection of these two lines, A, is defined as
resistance (R ) just above the superconducting transition.
