Abstract
A 10-MVA synchronous alternator has been designed and constructed to demonstrate advanced concepts for power station generators with superconducting field windings in the rotor. The experimental generator is in the final stages of assembly in preparation for no load tests and a 30-day full load test. This paper describes the construction of the generator, including the details of the superconducting rotor with emphasis on the unusual features. Problems in fabrication and assembly are discussed.
