Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform short time current limit operation repeatedly by connecting a plurality of parallel connected super-conducting elements to a main circuit and controlling excitation of super-conducting control coils arranged closely to respective super-conducting elements through a control circuit. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of super-conducting elements 2a-2c are connected between terminals A and B, then the current flowing through a main circuit 1 is detected through a CT4 and fed to a control section 5. Coils 3a-3c for controlling the superconducting elements are arranged closely to the super- conducting elements 2a-2c. The control section 5 controls the coils 3a-3c corresponding to the load current detected through the CT4. One, e.g., 2a, of three superconducting elements is not excited normally and two other elements are excited to bring out normally conducting state. When the control section 5 detects overload through the CT4, the coil 3a is excited to bring the super- conducting element 2a into normally conducting state so as to limit main current with the temperature exceeding over a critical level. Upon removal of fault, the element 2b is brought into superconducting state. By such arrangement, current limit operation is repeated in short time.
