<p>A switching element for modifying electric resistance comprises at least one high temperature superconductor (1) and means (3) for high frequency electromagnetic irradiation of the at least one high temperature superconductor (1). A method for switching a high temperature superconductor (1) comprises the steps of providing a high temperature superconductor (1) in the superconducting state and electromagnetically irradiating at a high frequency until the high temperature superconductor (1) changes over into a normally conducting state. The switching element may be used for a current limiter, magnetic energy storage, flow pump, rectifier and inverter.</p> |
