  • Abstract
    A synchronous motor with a high-temperature superconducting field winding has been successfully constructed and tested. Designed to produce an output power of 1000 hp, this motor was operated successfully at this power rating and achieved an output power of 1600 hp during subsequent testing. This paper provides an overview of the design of the motor and discusses the results of a series of tests which were performed on the motor.
