  • Abstract
    This paper describes the design of a 1300 MW superconducting a.c. generator. Considerable attention has been given to the properties of the low temperature rotor forging, the rotor screen and the construction of the stator support structure. A forging has been purchased for metallurgical examination but the results will not be available in time for the conference. The effects of changing the material of the rotor screen are described.
