Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the structure of a fuse and reduce its cost by forming the fuse element of the current limiting fuse with a superconducting material having low resistance at the sintering temperature or below and having high resistance when the sintering temperature is exceeded. CONSTITUTION:Cap-shaped electrodes 2 are provided at both end sections of an insulating cylinder 1, an unsintered powdery superconducting material 3 is filled as a fuse element in the cylinder 1. When Ba2/3Y1/3Cu6O14 is used as the material 3, for example, it has low resistance at the sintering temperature or below and has high resistance when this temperature is exceeded. The normal load current flows through a fuse F with no trouble, when a large current flows due to a short circuit accident or the like, the fuse element is instantly heated, the temperature of the material 3 exceeds the sintering temperature, thus it has high resistance, the short circuit current is suppressed and cut off without reaching the peak. The structure of a current limiting fuse is thereby simplified, and its cost can be reduced. The powdery superconducting material 3 may be formed into a bar shape with an adhesive by omitting the insulating cylinder 1.

As a result, the short circuit current is suddenly suppressed and cut off without reaching its peak.
