Recently research and development concerning applications of high temperature superconducting (HTS) transformers have been progressed actively in the world. Besides the HTS rated current capability, it is also essential to develop the relevant and precise performance test and protection systems for HTS transformers. This paper mainly presents elementary test and protection methods of HTS transformers including AC loss measurement, and quench detection and protection. A new integrated measurement system for HTS transformers is also proposed by using the Labview virtual instrument software.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
