Abstract :
The paper describes the methodology, test rig and results of vacuum gauge tests under rotational conditions. The gauge is dedicated to measurements of vacuum in the rotor of an HTS power generator. The tests were performed using a dedicated test rig where the data of the measurements were transmitted using a Bluetooth device.
