Shipboard Short Circuit Protection
The Siemens Industrial Solutions and Services Group (I&S) has developed a current limiter based on high temperature superconductors (HTS) technology to protect ship supply systems against short circuits. Short circuit currents are automatically limited to a non-critical value as soon as the current rises, owing to the sudden increase in the inherent resistance of the superconductor.
