Abstract

The present invention is directed to a cylindrically shaped superconductor component particularly useful as resistive current limiter composed of a cylindrical superconductor body, in particular of high temperature superconductor material, provided vertically to its longitudinal axis with a number of azimuthal slots 3, incised in parallel and alternating, and one longitudinal slot 2 running parallel to the longitudinal axis over almost the whole length of the cylindrical superconductor body.
