Applied Superconductor produces devices for utility and industry electrical networks employing superconductor technologies. Their specialist area is fault current management. The Company's Superconducting Fault Current Limiters ("SFCLs") protect high-voltage electricity networks from the damaging effects of faults by blocking current surges that arise when short-circuits occur. The Company's solutions reduce asset management costs whilst improving network safety, stability and efficiency. Fault Current Limiters support the connection of renewable energy generators to distribution networks assisting the industry to meet Low Carbon Policy targets. Applied Superconductor was founded in 2004 and is based in Blyth, United Kingdom.
