Abstract: The traditional liquidcooled copper coils which provide applied magnetic field have significant disadvantages such as large volume, big mass and high power dissipation. Therefore, hightemperature superconducting (HTS) magnets have received widespread attention in the application of appliedfield magnetoplasmadynamic thruster (AFMPDT) because of their tiny volume, low power dissipation and high current density. Due to the critical characteristics of superconductor material, HTS magnets are susceptible to quenching due to the influence of external magnetic field. In this paper, by simplifying the discharge circuit of MPDT, simulation and experimental methods were used to analyze the magnetic field of discharge simulator, and to study the influence on the HTS magnet. The simulation results show that the magnetic field inside the MPDT discharge chamber is mainly composed of the circumferential direction, and due to the shielding effect of the anode current, there is almost no magnetic field distribution outside the discharge chamber. The experimental results also achieved good agreement with the simulation. Therefore, when designing a HTS magnetic nozzle, it is not necessary to consider the influence of the magnetic field from the discharge chamber. This research provides a reference for the application of the HTS magnet on the AFMPDT.
