Summary

A national project in which 70 megawatt superconducting generators are to be constructed has been running in Japan. In the project two types of superconductors have been developed for the field winding of the generator. The A-type has been designed to have properties giving low alternating current losses. The B-type has been designed with high stability. The alternating current losses and stability of both types were measured. Then it was evaluated which was the more suitable superconductor with respect to the energy margin to quenching.
