Abstract

See full text

A current limiting device comprises a first superconducting element for connection in an electrical circuit. The superconducting element has a critical current density. A second superconducting element detects the onset of a fault condition. A coil is responsive to the second superconducting element to vary the relationship between the critical current density and the current carried by the first superconducting element so that the element transforms into a resistive state.
