Detailed Description

This represents just the rotor of a HTS motor, i.e. the superconducting components.
This is used to estimate the power and cooling required for the HTS components.
The power used here could be considered the same as that used by the motor as inefficiency, however many publications consider the overall motor efficiency, i.e. including cryocooler and/or motor drive electronics.

Assumptions:
No ACLoss in the HTS,
HTS is operated within the Ic and Tc limits.
i.e the power used by the coil is only due to solder resistances only, and is not affected by the motor output power or speed.
