Fundamental experiments of axial-type BSCCO-bulk superconducting motor model

An axial type HTS hysteresis motor has the same structure as a conventional axial fur type permanent magnet synchronous motor. The permanent magnet. r otor of a conventional permanent magnet synchronous motor is replaced by a rotor made from HTS materials with the objective of increasing power densit ies and reducing losses. The behavior of a BSCCO bulk rotor has been tested in rotating magnetic fields produced by two poles and three phase motor co ils fed by a PWM inverter at 77 K. To characterize the torque output capabi lity of the HTS hysteresis motor, speed versus torque and current versus to rque are tested. Experimental results for the HTS hysteresis motor are pres ented.
