Abstract

We have been developing a magnetic field measurement system with two-axis hall-probes to study the critical current density distribution or magnetic properties of high-Tc superconductors. In this study, the current distributions at corners of the meander type resistive fault current limiters were measured by hall probe with high spatial resolution. The both of axial and radial magnetic field components (Bx and Bz) according to the direct (DC) and alternating (AC) transport currents were measured by hall probe to estimate the current density distribution with high accuracy. And, it is confirmed that the measured radial components are very useful to estimate the current distribution.
