High-temperature superconducting (HTS) transformers are very
promising candidates for application in electrical power engineering. Their
main advantages are reduced size, weight, better efficiency and reduced
potential fire and environmental hazards. We have designed, constructed and
tested a 100 kVA HTS power transformer operated at 77 K. The nominal primary
and secondary currents (voltages) are 18 A (5.6 kV) and 92 A (1.1 kV),
respectively. No-load tests, short-circuit tests and load tests proved
repeatedly that the transformer has the rated capacity. HTS winding losses of
20.6 W and iron losses of 403 W were measured.
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.
