Abstract

The present invention relates to an electrical transformer which includes a primary winding coupled to first and second magnetic circuits. A magnetic flux is driven through the magnetic circuits by the primary winding. First and second secondary windings are also provided, each associated with a respective one of the magnetic circuits and being electrically connected together in series opposition. A closed superconducting fault current winding is also provided to link with the magnetic flux in the second magnetic circuit.
