Abstract

This paper describes design and operation of a three-phase HTS power transformer with capacity of 630 kVA operated in liquid nitrogen of 77 K for primary/secondary voltages of 10.5 kV/0.4 kV. The windings were wound by hermetic stainless steel-enforced multifilamentary Bi2223/Ag tapes. The structures of primary and secondary windings are solenoid and double-pancake respectively. Cryostat is made from electrical insulating materials with room temperature bore for commercial amorphous alloy core. Fundamental characteristics of the transformer are obtained by standard short-circuit and no-load tests. The ac losses were calculated and measured by method of conventional transformer. The HTS power transformer successfully operated in a live power grid.
