Abstract

With the improvement of high temperature superconductor (HTS) practical performance, research and development concerning the applications of HTS transformers have been progressed actively in the world. This work presents a single-phase 10 kVA (220 V/24 V) HTS transformer prototype design to validate HTS for practical transformer applications. The physical designs of the HTS transformer and 2-D electromagnetic analysis have been presented in the paper. A LabVIEW-based test and control system has also been developed to form a whole HTS transformer system.
