The effect of the partial substitution of x = 0.02 Fe for Cu in the stabilized (Bi, Pb):2223 phase has been investigated by magnetoresistivity measurements up to 0.7 T. The intra- and intergranular transitions as a function of magnetic field were analysed using versus T curves. The Arrhenius plots are represented by a family of straight lines. The activation energy is proportional to . The main dissipation process is related to the vortex cutting mechanism.
