Superconductive current limiting element of current limiter and method for manufacturing superconductive current limiting element of current limiter

A method of manufacturing a superconducting current-limiting element for a current limiter, comprising:

• a stacking step of stacking bar-shaped superconducting wires, connection blocks and insulation blocks so that the connection blocks and the insulation blocks are disposed at both ends of the bar-shaped superconducting wires so as to be alternately located;
• a fastening step of fastening a pair of clamps to both sides of each of an uppermost superconducting wire and a lowermost superconducting wire among the stacked superconducting wires, and joining the pair of clamps with a support bar to apply pressure to the stacked superconducting wires;
• a gap-maintaining step of fitting both ends of a plurality of spacers, which are aligned by being inserted in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the superconducting wires between the stacked superconducting wires, into holders;
• and
• a bonding step of bonding the superconducting wires, the connection blocks, and the insulation blocks.
