Abstract

A rotor is provided for an alternating current generator carrying a superconducting field winding and having a combined damper and shield member comprising a cylindrical member of high electrical conductivity. The shield member is attached to the rotor only at the end opposite the drive shaft and is supported on the rotor at the drive end in a manner to permit relative movement between the shield and the support.
