Abstract:
1. Arrangement for current limiting comprising: components having superconducting material; and a cryostat, in which said components are arranged, said cryostat having two metallic tubes which are arranged concentrically with respect to one another and between which vacuum insulation is fitted and which said cryostat surrounds a free space for a coolant to pass through, wherein said components each have three phase conductors composed of a superconducting material based on rare earths (ReBCO), which are arranged insulated from one another and concentrically with respect to one another, and in that “n” components are arranged in the cryostat (KR) and their phase conductors are cyclically electrically conductively connected to one another such that the inner phase conductor of each component is connected to the centre phase conductor of a second component, and this centre phase conductor is connected to the outer phase conductor of the third component, where n=3 or an integer multiple of 3.
