Abstract

We fabricated two high-Tc superconducting coils that simulated the winding of a traction transformer for railway rolling stock. The multi-layer solenoid coil to simulate the primary winding of the transformer had five layers with a single Bi2223 superconducting tape. The closed solenoid coil to simulate the secondary winding of the transformer had one layer with eight parallel Bi2223 superconducting tapes. We measured the voltage-current, AC loss and current sharing characteristics of these coils cooled in saturated liquid nitrogen at 77 K. As a result, we concluded that the multi-layer solenoid coil is applicable to the primary winding and the closed solenoid coil is also applicable to the secondary winding.
