The AC loss in ReBCO coated conductors is large in situations when the conductors are subjected to a considerable magnetic field, like in rotating machines, transformers and high-field magnets. Roebel cables can reduce the AC loss in these cases. However, computer simulations are needed to interpret the experiments, understand the loss mechanisms, reduce the AC loss by optimising the Roebel cable and design the cryogenic system. In this article, we simulate and discuss the AC loss due to an applied magnetic field making an arbitrary angle with the cable and taking into account a realistic anisotropic field dependence of the critical current density. We study the AC loss in the superconductor parts for the limits of very high coupling currents and completely uncoupled strands. The simulations for the uncoupled case also describe a double pancake coil with no transport current. For the simulations, we use two different numerical methods with complementary strengths. This serves as a mutual check of the correctness of the simulation results, which agree to each other. Opposite than expected, we found that the AC loss does not only depend on the perpendicular component of the applied magnetic field. We also found that the AC loss for applied fields with an orientation below 7 degrees with the strands surface is reduced more than one order of magnitude comparing to an untransposed cable. Therefore, we recommend to use Roebel cables for windings with important parallel components of the magnetic field, such as transformers and high-field magnets.
