Abstract

The use of windings on the basis of high-temperature superconductivity (HTSC) in electrical machines makes it possible to make the machines more efficient due to an essentially higher permissible current load and to make them more compact and lighter, which opens the possibility of constructing fundamentally new systems. However, the operation of HTSC windings with alternating current has not been fully investigated as yet. In particular, the critical parameters of an HTSC coil and a short HTSC sample differ essentially from each other. In addition, during operation of the devices with alternating current, losses occur in them and, in particular, in the superconductor, the correct characteristics of which are necessary for designing the cryogenic system. The article describes the technological process of producing a racetrack type coil made of so-called second-generation (2G) HTSC tape and presents the results of its tests carried out at the liquid nitrogen temperature and with different values of the power supply voltage. Based on the obtained experimental data, the losses in the HTSC coil operating with alternating current have been determined. The obtained study results were used in designing the electric motor for an unmanned aerial vehicle.
