Abstract
A new concept for a device for protecting an alternating-current network is offered. It is based on a combination of a superconducting limiter of a sh ort-circuit current and a circuit breaker. A high-temperature superconducto r in the form of a pile of plane rings is used as the active element of the limiter. The test results of a model of such a limiter are obtained in the steady-state short-circuit regime. The characteristics of composite silver less materials used for design of the breaker are given.
