The invention belongs to the field of high-temperature superconducting, and particularly relates to an alternating-current loss measuring device and method for a large-
diameter high-temperature superconducting coil by utilizing self-excitation compensation, and the device comprises a power supply loop and a measuring loop. The power supply loop comprises an
alternating current power supply and a large-
caliber high-temperature superconducting coil; the measuring loop comprises a compensating coil, a
current sensor, a
voltage lead and a
signal collector; the
AC power supply, the large-
caliber high-temperature superconducting coil and the
current sensor are connected in series; the
current sensor is connected with the
signal collector; the large-
caliber high-temperature superconducting coil, the
signal collector and the compensation coil are connected in series through a
voltage lead; the compensation coil and the large-
diameter high-temperature superconducting coil are arranged close to each other, so that the compensation coil and the large-
diameter high-temperature superconducting coil are mutually coupled. Compared with the prior art, the method solves the problems that in the prior art, a conventional thermal measurement method and an indirect electrical measurement method need to be calibrated more complicatedly, and a direct electrical measurement method is high in requirement and large in implementation difficulty; the
alternating current magnetization loss test with a simple scheme and relatively high flexibility and feasibility is realized.
