A support module (100,102,104) is provided for use in a rotor assembly (60) of a rotating machine (10). The support module (100) is disposed on the rotor body, supports high temperature superconductor rotor windings (64) within the rotor assembly, and thermally decouples the cold portions of the rotor assembly, including windings and support tube (68), from the ambient temperature rotor body and drive shaft (90). The support module includes a frame (120) disposed on the rotor body, a support block connected to the rotor winding and suspended within the frame, and thermally nonconductive straps (160) extending from each of a pair of opposed sides of the support block to the frame, the straps suspending the support block within the frame. |
