Description

In 2008/09 Nexans SuperConductors GmbH made the step from R and D activities to the production of the first non-publicly funded fault-current limiter units. In close cooperation with two customers, Applied Superconductor Limited (ASL, UK) and Vattenfall (Germany), Nexans was able to design, produce and deliver two resistive superconducting limiter devices. Both devices are designed for the medium voltage grid and were tested at the high voltage and high power lab IPH in Berlin. The superconducting components of both limiters, coils of bulk MCP BSCCO-2212, have been designed and produced by Nexans.
