    摘要: A high temperature superconductor fault current limiter and a method of using same. The fault current limiter comprises a high temperature superconductor material structure at least partially encapsulated in an epoxy having thermal conductivity properties that enable the superconductor to heat rapidly during a fault condition while preventing thermal runaway. The epoxy encapsulation decreases the critical current density of the superconductor material structure and increases the rate at which resistance increases with increasing current once the critical current density is exceeded. Preferably, the epoxy has thermal expansion properties approximately equal to the thermal expansion properties of the superconductor material structure.

    摘要: A method of measuring a cryogenic fluid level utilizing a high temperature ceramic superconductor material driven above its level of critical current density. A high temperature ceramic superconductor is placed in cryogenic fluid and a voltage is applied between two points on the superconductor. The voltage drop is then measured at a third point on the superconductor. This voltage drop corresponds to the change in cryogenic fluid level, and thus can be used to measure the fluid level. Sensitivity of the measurement is increased by driving the high temperature ceramic superconductor above its level of critical current density.
