Abstract

A rotor is provided for an alternating current generator carrying a superconducting field winding and having a combined damper and shield member on the rotor. The damper-shield member is a composite cylindrical member extending over the field winding and consisting of concentric inner and outer cylinders of a high-strength, non-magnetic alloy and an intermediate cylinder of aluminum or other material of high electrical conductivity.
