We report on test results for a single phase, 60-Hz, 13.8 kV/6.9 kV, 1-MVA high temperature superconducting (HTS) transformer which was completed in February, 1998. This transformer models in many ways a full scale section of a 30-MVA HTS commercial transformer design. The transformer windings are cryocooled in the range of 25 K and are made with a low-cost, surface-coated BSCCO-2212 conductor. Heat leaks are reduced using a liquid nitrogen thermal ballast and reservoir. The use of high temperature superconductors can substantially reduce transformer losses, weight, size, noise and potential fire and environmental hazards. Designs promise stable operation through faults without thermal degradation, and at temperatures that allow efficient and reliable refrigeration.
