Abstract

Metal-insulation (MI) REBCO high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet has the advantages of short charging delay, low contact losses, and self-protection abilities, which shows important application prospects in many fields. Recently, Institute of Electrical Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a prototype on-board MI HTS coil used for electrodynamic suspension (EDS) system working with an acceleration of beyond 8 g. To design a reliable engineering on-board magnet, specific Ic angle dependence data of short sample under different fields were fully considered to estimate the operating margin and losses accurately of the on-board magnet. A semi-analytical method, combination of the dynamic circuit method and finite element method, was used to analyze the dynamic electromagnetic force distribution inside the on-board magnet under motion state, in which the effect of the propulsion coils and the figure-eight-shaped coils were taken into considerations. Finally, a full-size MI double pancake racetrack coil was fabricated and tested in a liquid nitrogen bath. The test results meet the design requirements and verify the feasibility of the design, which provides an important reference for the experiment of on-board EDS with high acceleration in the future.
