ABSTRACT:
A fault current limiter incorporating a high temperature superconductor material. During a fault condition, the superconductor material is allowed to operate above its critical temperature, providing sharply increased resistance. The fault current limiter can be sized and selectively cooled to provide a desired range of fault current limiting capability.
