Inductive type fault current limiter using Bi-2223 thick film on MgO cylinder with Bi-2212 buffer Layer

We have been developing an inductive type superconducting fault current limiter with a superconducting cylinder. For practical use, a high critical current density (Jc) is needed in a large diameter. To achieve these items, we have developed a Bi-2223 thick film on a MgO substrate, with a Bi-2212 buffer layer. This cylinder was 450 mm in diameter and 120 mm in length. We describe the superconductive characteristics of this cylinder, and the limiting properties of the fault current limiter using these cylinders.
