Abstract

The design details of a 3-MVA, 2-pole superconducting generator, developed as part of a program sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute were reported in the literature early in 1973. The goal of this program is to demonstrate the features of superconducting generators that are applicable to very large machines, on a prototype of modest size. This paper reports the results of a series of tests performed on this generator.
