CORC® FAULT CURRENT LIMITING CABLES AND WIRES

CORC® fault current limiting cables and wires have demonstrated a high level of current blocking of any HTS cable:
– Nearly instantaneous development of 20 V/m
– 70 V/m voltage buildup within 15ms of fault
– Fast recovery due to the extremely small size of the FCL wire
– No performance degradation even after more tan 100 fault tests
