Description

This deliverable, in the form of a report, contains the results of the performance of two rated power induction machines: a 250W and a 55kW. The machines are tested with superconducting tapes on their rotor (SC-rotor) and also on their stator (SC-stator). A comparison of performance between the two configurations is done, focusing on their torque-speed curve, efficiency and power factor.
