A superconducting electric machine is an electrical machine that utilizes the unique properties of superconductors to enhance its performance. Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity without resistance when cooled below a certain critical temperature. This low-resistance characteristic allows for various advantages in electric machines, including: 1. **Higher Efficiency**: Superconducting machines can significantly reduce energy losses due to resistive heating (I²R losses), leading to higher overall efficiency.
