Abstract

A current-limiting device contains at least one limiter element (2) with at least one printed conductor (L) of high-T.sub.c superconductor material. For a sufficiently rapid response of the device, the printed conductor (L) should consist of a layer (4) of the superconductor material on an electrically insulating substrate (3) and should have a critical current density of at least 10.sup.3 A/cm.sup.2. The substrate may be arranged on a carrier body, in particular one made of a glass material with low shrinkage.
