Types of HTS Machines

Rotating DC Superconducting Field Most Common Type Transient Torques on HTS wire Cryocooler Coupler + Brushes

Low Reliability Cooling Times

Magnetized Bulk HTS Very Difficult to Handle Demagnetization

All Superconducting Machines AC Losses on HTS wire

Reliability?

Stationary SC Coil No Cryogenic Coupler No Brushes No Transient Torque on

SC Simplified Cooling,

Isolation DC Field

No AC losses Maximized Current
