Abstract: In a current limiter for limiting currents in case of a fault including an additional device comprising an additional electric valve connected in series and being conductive in the same direction as the associated main valve, two series-connected valve branches arranged in opposition bypass two series connected current limiting inductors and both additional valves are bypassed by a similar passively complex connection for limiting current in the case of a fault, wherein the current limiter is not noticeable during normal operation, but, in the event of a fault, effectively limits the short circuit to a predetermined extent.

Abstract: In a current limiter with electric valves for limiting a short circuit in an electric power supply, wherein two throttles are connected in series and in a parallel path with two series-connected valves, which are disposed in opposition to each other and the two parallel paths are interconnected by a connection extending between the common potential point of the valves and that of the throttles, the valves are semi-controlled valves, which, for the operation of the current limiter, are activated by an external control whereby the valves are converted from a conductive to a blocking state in which they remain so that the current limiter automatically limits the current upon the occurrence of a fault current exceeding a predetermined current threshold.
