Summary

In an HTS magnet consisting of pancake windings, an air gap between the pancake windings can be used to increase the central magnetic field because the air gap increases the critical current of pancake windings. The effects of an air gap on the central magnetic field of an HTS magnet are discussed in this paper according to the various number of turns and also to the number of pancake windings. Results of calculation show the air gap could increase the central magnetic field and the field uniformity simultaneously. The optimum air gap which maximized the central magnetic field was about 4 mm at eight pancake windings and 50 turns per pancake winding. The central magnetic field increased 6.2% from 0.225 T (no air gap) to 0.239 T (4 mm air gap) at that case. [Reprinted with permission from Elsevier. Copyright, 2009].
