Applications of High Temperature Superconductors to Electric Power EquipmentAuthor(s): Swarn S. Kalsi\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: Wiley-IEEE Press\nISBN-13: 9780470167687, 978-0470167687\nSynopsis\nThe only one-stop reference to design, analysis, and manufacturing concepts for power devices utilizing HTS. High temperature superconductors (HTS) have been used for building many devices for electric grids worldwide and for large ship propulsion motors for the [url] Navy. And yet, there has been no single source discussing theory and design issues relating to power applications of HTSuntil now. This book provides design and analysis for various devices and includes examples of devices built over the last decade.\n\n Starting with a complete overview of HTS, the subsequent chapters are dedicated to specific devices: cooling and thermal insulation systems; rotating AC and DC machines; transformers; fault current limiters; power cables; G
