Abstract

Potentially, coils made with BSCCO-2223/Ag tape and operating in liquid nitrogen at 50-60 Hz are interesting for power related applications. The electrical characteristics of such a coil depend on the radial magnetic field in the windings. One way to suppress the radial field is by placing small iron pieces around coil edges. V-I curves of the 100 kVA coil are calculated and measured for two cases: coil edges without and with iron pieces. The coil is a solenoid with inner and outer diameters and a height of 470, 474 and 614 mm respectively. A numerical model adapted to the coil geometry is used to calculate the conductor losses. The loss voltage is also evaluated by measuring the coil temperature. The total loss of the coil is measured electromagnetically. Calculated and measured losses are in agreement. Finally, the loss V-I curves of the coil are simulated in the frequency range of 0 to 400 Hz. The results are applied to the design of a 1 MVA resonator coil
