الوصف: AC losses in High Temperature Superconductor tapes (HTS) are an important design parameter for large scale power applications. The electrical method is often used for losses measurements on SC tapes and, when the results are to be compared to computed estimations, simple theoretical models like the Norris Brandt are typically used. Electromagnetic dynamic effects are not usually taken into account by the simpler models, but their presence may corrupt the measured data. In this paper, a preliminary study on a conventional copper bar sample has been done to evaluate the effect of the skin currents on the specimen losses measures obtained from the electrical method. The measurement procedure has afterward been applied to a SC YBCO tape (Superpower SCS4050AP), obtaining circuit configuration dependent results. Because the SC losses must obviously be measurement circuit independent, a systematic error due to the skin currents must be playing a role. The skin current induced error is always there and, in order to apply the electrical method for losses estimation, the only possibility is its minimization. The best choice for the measurement circuit to be adopted, in order to minimize the skin current undesired contribution, will finally be proposed.
