High-temperature superconducting materials have shown great potential for the design of large-scale industry applications. However, they are complicated under AC conditions, resulting in penalties such as power loss or AC loss. This loss has to be considered in order to design reliable and efficient superconducting devices. Furthermore, when superconductors are used in rotating machines, they may be exposed to rotating magnetic fields, which is critical for the design of such machines. Existing AC loss measuring techniques are limited to measuring under one-dimensional AC magnetic fields or transport currents. Therefore, it is essential to develop and investigate robust experimental techniques to investigate the loss mechanism in HTS machines. In this paper, a new and novel experimental technique has been presented to measure AC loss in rotating magnetic field conditions. The loss under rotating magnetic fields is measured and compared by numerical modeling methods, and the results show a strong correlation with the numerical modeling and show the effectiveness of the experimental setup.
