For over two decades different types of fabric circuits have been developed. These are fabrics with integrated electric conductors. However, a technology for contacting electronics to these circuits in a simple and reliable manner was missing. This inhibited any greater commercial success of fabric circuits as potential means to create electronics in textiles applications. This publication presents a novel contacting approach based on non conductive adhesive bonding that is both simple and very versatile concerning the choice of fabric circuit and type of electronics to be contacted. Test vehicles with two different kinds of fabric circuits were developed and exposed to different kinds of textile typical stress. The results show that this contacting approach is very reliable. Finally, two demonstrators were developed, to show the potential of this novel process

A very promising option within the German 10 kV/10 MVA superconducting fault current limiter project CURL 10 is melt cast processed (MCP-) BSCCO 2212 bulk material. With tube shaped samples cut to bifilar coils and contacted in series, the required long lengths (160 m per phase) can easily be achieved. At the operating temperature of = 65 K the critical current density is near 4000 A/cm 2 and the voltage under limiting conditions reaches = 0 5 V/cm. The contribution describes the design, manufacturing and testing of the superconducting components. In particular the development and characterization of a suitable electrical shunt is focused. Finally the finished components are characterized with respect to electrical homogeneity and under various limiting conditions. It could be confirmed that the single components each meet all the requirements defined within the project. Index Terms-Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O , bifilar coils, superconducting current limiter.
