Abstract
This invention relates to a superconducting fault current limiter, including: an input segment of an input transformer core and an output segment of an output transformer, each segment having a first end and a second end; a length of superconductor which forms a winding around the input segment and a winding around output segment, wherein the windings are connected in series to form a closed loop; a cryostat in which the superconductor is housed; wherein each end of the input and output segments are exposed to the exterior of the cryostat.
