Abstract

70 MW class superconducting generators are under development as a national project in Japan. This is an eleven-year program which commenced in 1988. The manufacturing of the slow response excitation type rotor was completed at the beginning of 1996, and performance test of the rotor was carried out in the factory at the beginning of 1997. The factory test has been completed successfully. This paper describes the factory test results of the cryogenic performance and the electrical performance.
