Abstract

jats:pHigh-temperature superconductor (HTS) bulks have shown very promising potential for industrial applications due to the ability to trap much higher magnetic fields compared to traditional permanent magnets. In rotating electrical machines, the magnetic field is a combination of alternating and rotating fields. On the contrary, all studies on electromagnetic characterization of HTS presented in the literature so far have only focused on alternating AC magnetic fields and alternating AC loss due to the unavailability of robust experimental techniques and analytical models. This paper presents a numerical investigation on the characterization of HTS bulks subjected to rotating magnetic fields showing AC loss, current density distribution in three-dimensional axes, and trapped field analysis. A three-dimensional numerical model has been developed using H-formulation based on finite element analysis. An HTS cubic sample is magnetized and demagnetized with two-dimensional magnetic flux density vectors rotating in circular orientation around the XOY, XOZ, and YOZ planes.</jats:p>
