A model 9 kVA (240 V/9.6 V) single-phase HTS transformer has been developed and tested with and without a cold iron core at 77 K. The primary and secondary windings were wound by transposed conductors, which are made from stainless steel-reinforced multifilamentary Bi2223/Ag tapes. The structures of the primary and secondary windings are helical and double-pancake, respectively. Primarily characteristics of the transformer are obtained through no-load tests, and short circuit tests. The iron cores are made of the common laminated Fe–Si steel plates and operate at nitrogen temperature 77 K. Based on the results of this transformer, we will develop a 630 kVA HTS transformer with the same rating currents in the near future.
