Patent ID: 8112134

Claim:
A superconducting current limiter device of a resistive type, comprising: at least one coil whose conductive track is formed by at least one band-shaped superconductor having an axial direction and comprising neighboring coil turns; and a holding element being arranged between the neighboring coil turns, which holding element is designed to be wider than the superconductor in the axial direction of the coil and comprises a flat band and a corrugated band , and wherein the flat band extends parallel to the band-shaped superconductor with an essentially constant spacing and comprises a longitudinal direction, the corrugated band extends essentially parallel to the flat band, the corrugated band having first regions away from the flat band and second regions close to the flat band periodically in the longitudinal direction, the second regions of the corrugated band which lie close to the flat band having a mechanical connection to the flat band, and the first regions of the corrugated band which lie away from the flat band having recesses so as to allow at least approximately tight-fit reception of the band-shaped superconductor (at a distance from the flat band.
