Application of superconducting shields in current-limiting and special-purpose transformers

Abstract

The principles of operation and the design of power transformers based on superconducting shields have been considered. The laboratory prototypes of fault current-limiting and special-purpose (arc welding/furnace) transformers have been tested. The application of both low-T/sub c/ and high-T/sub c/ superconducting shields has been studied.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
