Influence of AC Magnetic Field on a Rotating Machine With Gd-Bulk HTS Field-Pole Magnets

摘要

A synchronous rotation study with eight field rotor pole of Gd123 bulks was performed with the axial-type motor. The field pole of Gd123 packs with and without doped amorphous magnetic particles Fe-B-Si-Nb-Cr-Cu (MP) were employed. Before and after the synchronous operation, the change of the trapped magnetic flux on the bulk was investigated at the operating temperature of 40 K. The observed decay of the trapped integrated flux on the surface of Gd123 packs after 5 hours synchronous rotation were 7.2% for the Gd123 pack without MP doping and 4.1% for the Gd123 bulk doped with MP. The present result indicates that the lowering operation temperature may be beneficial to avoid the AC loss. This also leads to another complementally conclusion that the employment of the condensed neon gas cooling system is a suitable choice from the viewpoint of practical applications of the HTS bulks in contrast to liquid nitrogen cooling. In addition, the Gd123 doped with MP alloy particles provide a practical magnetic flux trapping function at 40 K.
