MATRIX-TYPE SUPERCONDUCTING FAULT CURRENT LIMITER

摘要

A modular and scalable Matrix-type Fault Current Limiter (212) that fuctions as a "variable impedance" device in an electric power network, using components made of superconducting and non-superconductiong electrically conductive materials. The detection of a fault and subsequent activation of the current-limiting impedance of the Matrix-type Fault Current Limiter (212) are done passively by built-in matrix design, without assistance of active control mechanisms.
