Abstract:
A method for supporting a super-conducting coil winding in the rotor core of a synchronous machine comprising the steps of:a. extending a tension rod through a conduit in said rotor core, wherein said tension rod extends through the rotor from one side of the rotor to another side, is perpendicular to an axis of the rotor and is thermally isolated from the conduit; b. inserting at least one tension bolt into an end of the rod; c. assembling at least one housing around one of the side sections of the coil winding; d. positioning the coil winding with housing around the rotor core such that the tension rod and tension bolt span between side sections of the coil winding with housing and the end of the rod is adjacent one of said side sections of the coil, and e. securing the bolt to one of the housings.
