The design of an original structure of current limiter

This paper deals with a new kind of superconducting limiter which is not based on the transition from the superconducting state to the normal one by overtaking the critical current. This new superconducting current limiter has no current transport in the superconductor. Indeed, in our structure, the current limitation is based on the saturation of a high temperature bulk superconductor by the magnetic flux. The principle of this new type of limiter has been explained in a previous paper. Now we present the design of this kind of limiter and we show the influence of the temperature on its functioning.
