<p>Provided is a fault current limiter that uses a superconductor and can rapidly restore a superconducting state after a current limiting operation. The fault current limiter is configured to perform a current limiting operation through the use of a superconductor and includes a superconducting member (a member including a holding container (11), a filler and a superconducting wire) including the superconductor, a cooling container (10), and a suppression member (fins (12)). The cooling container (10) is configured to hold therein the superconducting member and house therein a coolant (14) for cooling the superconducting member. The suppression member (fins (12)) is configured to prevent a boiling state of the coolant (14) from transiting from a nucleate boiling state to a film boiling state in the case where the coolant boils on a surface of the superconducting member (a surface of the holding container (11)) due to a temperature rise of the superconductor during the current limiting operation.</p> |
