The fault current challenge – eureka<br />

Key characteristics of <strong>Fault</strong> <strong>Current</strong> <strong>Limiters</strong> based on<br />

superconducting materials<br />

Under normal operation a fault current limiter inserts<br />

negligible impedance into the network<br />

When a fault occurs the limiter‘s impedance rises rapidly,<br />

reducing the current flowing through it
