Abstract

A small high temperature superconductor (HTS) coil was designed and tested at GE-Global Research Center (GE-GRC) to evaluate the over-current capability for HTS generator rotor. The superconducting rotor coil is a layer-wound racetrack coil using the BSCCO 2223 conductor. Over-current simulation tests have been done to simulate the fault operation condition for generator based on the previous analysis work. The obtained data is used to evaluate the performance of HTS material in generator applications
