Abstract
Device for detecting the quenching of part a superconducting element comprising two identical superconducting conductors electrically connected in parallel is provided with means (104, 105, 109, 110) of detecting a difference in intensity or phase between the currents flowing in the conductors. An application to a superconducting current limiter is described.
