3. Superconducting current-limiting device

3.1 Transitionless superconducting limiters

Some superconducting limiters don't use the transition, just the zero (DC) or very low (AC) losses of the superconductors. These limiters therefore don't have to recover the superconducting state after limiting, and can be put back into service immediately.

3.1.1 Desaturable inductance

This is an old concept based on the fact that an inductance varies according to the saturation state of its magnetic circuit. The value of the inductance decreases...
