Abstract
A current limiter having a plurality of current limiting units provided for electric paths constituting a plurality of phases. Each current limiting unit is constituted by a superconducting coil functioning as a first current limiting element formed in a non-inductive winding manner by connecting two superconducting coils in series, which superconducting coils are wound in opposite directions and equal in size and number of turns, and a superconducting coil functioning as a second current limiting element connected in parallel to the first current limiting element and having a predetermined impedance value. These current limiting units are contained within a cryostat and separated by a magnetic shield member for electromagnetically isolating the respective phases.
