AC loss measurements were made on a series of Rutherford cables wound from stabrite-coated NbTi/Cu multifilamentary strand, from the results of which interstrand contact resistances were calculated. The 28-strand, 15 mm wide, LHC-inner type cables contained stainless steel cores of various widths. Calorimetric loss measurements were made on all samples using a sinusoidal field with an amplitude of 400 mT. It is concluded that by adjusting the width of a stainless steel core the effective ICR of a stabrite-coated Rutherford cable can be varied over a wide range, and in particular that a published target of 15 micro-ohm could be attained.
