Abstract

Magnetic characteristics of a Bi-2223 bulk rotor that was used for the HTS motor was investigated at 77.3 K. Spatial distribution of the magnetic flux density in the air-gap of axial-type HTS motor was measured in a rotating magnetic field at 60 Hz frequency. Numerical simulation based on 3D finite element method was also performed. It was shown that the pinning property of the bulk rotor influences the harmonic components of the air-gap flux density as well as motor characteristics.
