Abstract :
A summary report is given of the experience gained in the design, construction and testing of a 3-MVA synchronous machine with a rotating superconducting field winding. Included are the objectives and chronology of the project, a brief description of the machine, and a summary of test results. Conclusions are presented and key problem areas requiring additional work are outlined. Plans to build an advanced concept machine are given.
