A hybrid superconductive device for stabilizing an electric grid comprises (a) a magnetic core arrangement at least partially carrying an AC winding the AC winding connectable to an AC circuit for a current to be limited in the event of a fault; (b) at least one superconductive coil configured for storing electromagnetic energy; the superconductive coil magnetically coupled with the core arrangement and saturating the magnetic core arrangement during use. The hybrid superconductive device further comprises a switch unit preprogrammed for switching electric current patterns corresponding to the following modes: at least partially charging the superconductive coil; a standby mode when the superconductive coil is looped back; and at least partially discharging the superconductive coil into the circuit. Optionally, hybrid superconductive device comprises at least one passage located within said magnetic flux. The passage conducts a material flow comprising components magnetically separable by said magnetic flux.

Hybrid superconducting magnetic device

A current limiting device () comprising for each phase of an AC supply a closed magnetic core () of reduced volume and mass having first and second pairs of opposing limbs (), and at least one AC coil () enclosing opposing limbs () of the magnetic core () and adapted for series connection with a load. A superconducting DC bias coil () encloses a limb) () of the magnetic core () for saturating each of the opposing limbs () in opposite directions by the bias coil (). Under fault conditions, the AC flux in at least one limb counteracts the DC bias flux, bringing the limb out of saturation. Preferably, current is reduced in the DC bias coils thus bringing both opposing limbs of the core out of saturation.

A method and a measuring device for determining the spatial distribution of a magnetic field vector. At least a pair of sensor elements is provided. Each sensor element measures a component of the magnetic field vector. The sensor elements are aligned in a parallel, spaced-apart relationship along an axis parallel to the measured components.
