High temperature superconductor synchronous motor simulation
QuickField simulation example
The synchronous motor with high temperature superconductor (HTS) material is under development. The experimental machine has permanent magnets on the rotor. The winding of the stator made of superconductor bars.
Engineering question
How to find magnetic field in superconducting synchronous motor?
Engineering answer
Set up a plane-parallel QuickField DC Magnetics problem for a high-temperature superconducting synchronous motor and evaluate magnetic field distribution from computed field results.
Typical applications
HTS synchronous motors, superconducting electric machines, cryogenic motor rotors

Problem Type
Plane parallel nonlinear DC magnetics.
Geometry
Given
The four poles excitation on the rotor developed by NdFeB magnets. The body of rotor made of aluminum. Around the stator is the magnetic shielding material (M19). The HTS bars placed on moveable plastic frames. These frames are adjustable by screw, which is connected to the wall of the stator. By adjusting screws the air gap is changeable. The stator bars connections formed two phase winding.
