Ag-sheathed Bi1.8Pb0.4Sr2Ca2.2Cu3Oy superconducting tapes were prepared. Microstruc-ture examination shows that it were made of highly textured Bi2223 single phase. Measurements of transport properties in liquid nitrogen and field lower than 1T reveal that Jc(T,B,θ, φ) and R(T,B,θ,φ) of this material are θ dependent and φ independent, where θ is the angle between magnetic field and ab plane and φ is the angle between magnetic field and transport current. Activation energy of flux lines was gained. The Arrhenius relation of R(T,B) was observed and activation energy of flux motion was determined. The transport characteristics and the activation energy are explained as the thermally activated flux line diffusive motion over intrinsic flux pinning barrier by means of nucleation of two-dimensional pancake vortex pairs.
