  • Superconducting fault-current limiting element and the process for producing the same
    Patent number: 8088713
    Abstract: To prepare a superconducting fault-current limiting element having a high sharing electric field at low cost, a superconducting fault-current limiting element includes an insulator substrate; a superconductive thin film formed on the insulator substrate; and an alloy layer formed on the superconducting thin film, said alloy layer having a room-temperature resistivity higher by twice or more than the room-temperature resistivity of a pure metal, in which, when the superconducting thin film goes into a normal conductive state by an overcurrent, the overcurrent flowing through the superconducting thin film is transferred only to the alloy layer.

  • Superconducting Fault-Current Limiting Element and the Process for Producing the Same
    Publication number: 20080026946
    Abstract: [Problem] To prepare a superconducting fault-current limiting element having a high sharing electric field at low cost. [Means for Resolution] A superconducting fault-current limiting element including an insulator substrate; a superconductive thin film 3 formed on the insulator substrate; and an alloy layer 4 formed on the superconducting thin film 3, said alloy layer having a room-temperature resistivity higher by twice or more than the room-temperature resistivity of a pure metal, in which, when the superconducting thin film 3 goes into a normal conductive state by an overcurrent, the overcurrent flowing through the superconducting thin film 3 is transferred only to the alloy layer 4.
