Abstract
A method for current conditioning, comprising transporting a primary current () through a primary coil (), coupling a secondary coil () to the primary coil () via a common magnetic flux, wherein the secondary coil () comprises a superconductor capable of quenching, with the quenching causing a transition of the superconductor from a low resistance superconducting state to a high resistance quenched state, and in the low resistance superconducting state of the secondary coil (), guiding a major fraction () of the common magnetic flux of the primary coil () and the secondary coil () within a ferromagnetic medium (), is characterized by upon quenching, switching the common magnetic flux such that a major fraction () of the common magnetic flux is guided outside the ferromagnetic medium () in the high resistance quenched state of the superconductor. An economic and efficient method for current conditioning is thereby provided which reduces harmonic distortions.
