Superconducting rotor dynamics
Abstract
This report is a review of the work performed to develop an experimental test rotor (RTF) to evaluate acceleration effects on superconducting Nb3Sn coils. The RTF was specifically modeled after the General Electric 20 MVA Advanced Rotor Design with respect to the centrifugal loading, cryogenic design, mechanical support and construction for the superconducting coils. This report reviews most of the important design considerations and details the superconducting test coil design and fabrication.
