Abstract
A winding for use in a superconducting electric generator having a rotating rotor assembly surrounded by a non-rotating stator assembly is provided. The winding comprises at least one conductor structure associated with a component in the superconducting electric generator. The conductor structure comprises a plurality of conductive elements formed from a high temperature superconductive material. At least a portion of the conductive elements is arranged in a transposed relationship. A protective shell is positioned about the conductive elements and formed from a high strength alloy suitable for cryogenic temperatures.
