Synchronous generators with superconductive excitation windings

Possibilities for taking advantage of superconductivity in the design of synchronous generator windings are presented. Parameters of designed and built experimental models are listed. The concept of the structure of a synchronous generator with a superconductive excitation winding is discussed and specific characteristics of its design are presented. It is shown that an increase in magnetic induction and elimination of the ferromagnetic from the magnetic circuit alloys one to reduce the dimensions, weight, and cost of the machine.
