Abstract

The present invention relates to a superconducting current limiting device comprising a superconductor component (1) wherein each superconductor component (1) comprises a superconductor body (2) on which a coil (3) is wound the coil being electrically connected to the superconductor body (2) wherein in the superconducting current limiting device a magnetic field is generated on transition of the superconductor from the superconducting state to the normal conducting state.
