Abstract

Provided is a superconducting coil capable of reducing a magnetic field perpendicularly irradiated to a wide surface of a superconducting wire composing a coil of a superconducting electric device by winding a low current density coil, driven with a current density lower than that flowing through a main coil, on a line extending from the main coil. The superconducting coil includes: a main coil driven with a current density flowing by entering current; and a low current density coil located on a line extending from upper and lower ends of the main coil, and series connected to a coil having the same shape as a portion of the main coil to be driven with a current density lower than that flowing through the main coil.

Claims (16)

1. A superconducting coil for reducing a perpendicular magnetic field, comprising:

a main coil driven with a current density flowing by entering current; and

a low current density coil driven with a current density lower than that flowing through the main coil, wherein both a solenoid winding and a pancake winding are employed.

2. The superconducting coil according to claim 1 , wherein the low current density coil is located on a line extending from upper and lower ends of the main coil.

3. The superconducting coil according to claim 2 , wherein the low current density coil is wound on the line extending from upper and lower ends of the main coil in series.

4. The superconducting coil according to claim 2 , wherein the low current density coil is wound in a parallel manner and has a cross-sectional area larger than that of the main coil.

5. A high-temperature superconducting transformer comprising:

a core;

a first low voltage superconducting winding adjacent to the core;

a second low voltage superconducting winding such that turns of the first and second low voltage superconducting windings define a two-layered solenoid; and

a high voltage superconducting winding adjacent to the second superconducting winding and having turns composed of double pancakes,

wherein each of the first and second low voltage superconducting windings and the high voltage superconducting winding includes a low current density coil having a half of a flow current density in comparison with a remaining main coil.

6. The high-temperature superconducting transformer of claim 5 , wherein the low current density coil is disposed at terminal ends of the core.

7. The high-temperature superconducting transformer of claim 6 , wherein each low density coil is wound in a parallel manner to increase a cross-sectional area of the low density coil.

8. The high-temperature superconducting transformer of claim 7 , wherein each low density coil has a same cross sectional area of a line extending from the main coil.

9. The high-temperature superconducting transformer of claim 5 , wherein the low voltage superconducting winding has a total of 204 turns defining the two-layered solenoid and the high voltage superconducting winding has a total of 1364 turns of 44 double pancakes.
