Method and apparatus to trigger superconductors in current limiting devices

摘要: A method and apparatus for magnetically triggering a superconductor in superconducting fault current limiter to transition from state resistive state. The is achieved by employing current-carrying trigger coil or foil on either both the inner diameter outer of superconductor. generates magnetic field with sufficient strength disposed within essentially uniform region. For tubular-configured form, an additional can be generated placing wire inside tube along center axial line.
