Abstract
A conceptual design of a superconducting magnet for MAGLEV using a Bi- based high-Tc superconducting tape is studied. In this study, the stru cture of conductor and coil, AC loss, stability, current lead, persist ent current switch, cryostat structure and cooling system are estimate d. The characteristics of our design are as follows; (1) The supercond ucting coil is cooled by a refrigerator at 20K and is operated by pers istent mode. (2) The coil is constructed by 6 pieces of double pancake coils, and each pancake coil is graded by changing conductor size. (3 ) The temperature rise of the coil is about 2K due to AC loss. (4) The superconducting stability is very high.
