Superconducting current limiting dipole, comprising at least four superconducting cables

A superconducting current limiting dipole (L1 to L15), two terminals of which are formed by a first electrical connection terminal (T1) and a second electrical connection terminal (T2), the current limiting dipole comprising:

• a superconducting conductor (F1 to F15) wound so as to form a two-wire coil extending in a single plane,
• a layer of insulator (E1 to E11, H1) being arranged between two turns of said coil,
• said superconducting conductor (F1 to F15) comprises at least four separate superconducting cables (C1 to C12) wound in parallel and arranged in at least two pairs, each of the pairs being formed of two of said superconducting cables (C1 to C12), the superconducting cables (C1 to C12) being connected to one another so that the superconducting conductor extends in at least two outward and return paths between a periphery and a center of the coil while connecting the first electrical connection terminal (T1) to the second electrical connection terminal (T2).
