Abstract:	BSCCO/Ag tapes are being developed for electrical power applications at liquid nitrogen temperatures. In these applications, conductors are exposed to an alternating magnetic field and fed simultaneously with an alternating transport current. In this contribution the influence of an external alternating magnetic field on the transport current loss of a single tape is studied experimentally. Special attention is paid to the loss as a function of the orientation of the external magnetic field. The transport current loss in a DC external magnetic field can be described well by the decrease of the critical current due to the magnetic field. In the case of an AC external magnetic field this is only a minor effect. Effects responsible for the increase of the transport current loss in external AC magnetic field are investigated with respect to their angle dependency. A model based on a 1 dimensional modelling of the conductor and an average critical current density during the magnetic field cycle is presented. This model describes the measured results reasonably well below the critical current
