Abstract The supercurrent-transport properties of YBa2Cu3O∼7 (Y∶123) polycrystalline bulk sintered samples with random grain orientation were thoroughly investigated. The dissipation process in these materials occurs due to intergranular flux motion, rather than by weak-link quenching. It was found that the model which takes into consideration collective creep of intergranular vortices is self-consistent in describing the low-voltage-level current-voltage characteristics and the intergranular irreversibility line of high-T c superconducting ceramics.
