CURRENT LIMITER ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A CURRENT LIMITER ARRANGEMENT

摘要

A current limiter arrangement (1) for limiting an electric current between a first and a second terminal (2, 3) comprises a first current limiting device (4) and a second current limiting device (5) arranged between the first and the second terminal (2, 3). The first and the second current limiting device (4, 5) each include a substrate (6, 7) having a substrate surface area (Α6) and a substrate thickness (T), and include a superconducting section (8, 9) arranged on the substrate (6, 7) and thermally coupled to the substrate (6, 7) thereby covering a coupling surface area (A8) on the substrate (6, 7). Each of the superconducting sections (8, 9) has a critical current value and the substrate surface areas (Α6), the substrate thicknesses (T) and or the coupling surface areas (A8) are implemented as a function of the critical current values.
