Abstract
A preliminary study of a small superconducting current limiter device based on Hg0.8Re0.2Ba2Ca2Cu3O8+δ, (Hg,Re)-1223 ceramic is described. A fault current test at 60Hz confirmed a reduction in the density of current value, from 1.55×102to0.82×102Apeak∕cm2. The prospective/limited density of current ratio observed was ∼1.9 for a 0.24cm thick sample, without any damage to the (Hg,Re)-1223 superconductor. A recovery test indicated that the polycrystalline sample kept its superconducting properties and had not shown modifications in its stoichiometry. In conclusion, (Hg,Re)-1223 can be used to build superconducting fault current limiter devices.
