High temperature superconducting synchronous motor coil carriers with drawbar anchors

摘要

A rotor for a synchronous machine is disclosed comprising: a rotor; a super-conducting coil winding (34) extending around at least a portion of the rotor, said coil winding having a pair of side sections on opposite sides of said rotor; at least one tension rod (42) extending between the pair of side sections (40) of the coil winding and through conduits (46) in said rotor; and a coil housing (44) at each of opposite ends of said tension rod, wherein said coil housing wraps around said coil winding and is attached to said tension rod.
