  • Abstract
    A report is presented on the program at CWRU to demonstrate the feasibility of a brushless superconducting alternator. In this machine the rotating field windings of the generator are excited by a flux pump. In this manner the conventional slip rings used to lead the current to the windings are eliminated. Some of the novel features of the generator are the large current in the field windings and the rapid dynamic response to faults.
