Description
Summary:The superconducting motor generally adopts superconducting magnets to supply high flux density in the air-gap around the rotor. This structure can decrease the volume as a result of the high magnetic load, but it also creates cooling difficulty problems due to the cooling medium's spin sealing. Therefore, the superconducting magnets need frequent maintenance, and this structure cannot be applied in the industry field. So a novel high temperature superconducting motor with a superconducting armature coils is researched. This motor's stator uses ferromagnetic material and the superconducting windings are located in the slots. The ferromagnetic material can decrease the magnetic field in the superconducting coils, so the current carrying ability of the superconducting coils can be increased. The rotor adopts the permanent magnets as the excitation. Such design details of the motor can ensure the superconducting coils can undertake larger current and reduce AC loss. In this paper the electromagnetic field distribution of the HTS motor stator coils is analysed. Finally, the detailed HTS motor parameters are presented to analyse the output torque characteristic. From the characteristics, it can be seen that the novel HTS motor has the same power density as the traditional HTS motor.
