Abstract
This paper deals with the design and fabrication of a novel superconducting power supply system, and characteristics have been investigated through experiments. Superconducting power supply consists of rotating and static parts, and superconducting magnet. In this experiment, superconducting foils were placed in parallel within the static part of the machine, pumping currents were measured with respect to rotor speeds and excitation currents. In addition, in order to observe the rotating flux distribution in the superconducting foils, several hall-sensors were placed in it. With the flux distribution acquired, effect of the flux on the superconducting foil during the process of current pumping has been discussed. Also, the general operational characteristics of the superconducting power supply system have been investigated on the basis of the current and voltage data, and magnetic field values acquired through the experiments.
