Abstract

In general, in most case of high temperature superconducting (HTS) rotating machinery, HTS field coil is rotated. HTS homopolar motor field coil is nat necessary to be rotated and the torque of motor is not strongly related with the field coil. Therefore, HTS homopolar motor has a superior mechanical stability comparing with other HTS rotating machines. These advantages can make the design of HTS field coil and cryostat much more simple. In this paper, HTS field coil was fabricated and tested. Before test, authors habe estimated the critical current of HTS field coil at 77K by simulation using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) software and power law equation. The experiment details and results are presented in this paper, and discussed. The field windings are made with HTS Bi-2223 wire which operates at 77K.
