This paper describes quantitatively the influence of the self-field and the cross-sectional geometry on the effective critical current and the ac losses in transport current applications of non-twisted multifilamentary Bi-2223/Ag conductors. The results are obtained with finite element method simulations. The numerical implementation includes an anisotropic model for the dependence of the critical current density Jc and the power index n on the local parallel and perpendicular magnetic field components. The relation is given between the intrinsic critical current density and the effective critical current for different multifilamentary conductors. Shown are examples of the current and magnetic flux density distributions in order to demonstrate their effect on the ac losses in self-field
c' axis oriented YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) films grown on (100) SrTiO3 substrates by both laser ablation and ion beam sputtering. The effect of the magnetic field on the resistivity is investigated with the field parallel to the c' axis. The zero field transition widths vary from 1 K to 4 K in different films. However the data exhibits 3d X-Y critical scaling having introduced an `effective' magnetic field characteristic of the length scale of the disorder in the f
