The interwikis are wrong. They are for Superconductivity, I think all of them. I don't think this article has an equivalent in other languajes. ---- Fernando Estel ☆ · 星 (Talk: here- commons- es) 20:28, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
We could do with some idea of where they are used, cost, design parameters. Rod57 (talk) 03:42, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
No reference to rectifier type FCLs? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.213.183.179 (talk) 22:20, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
I'm no expert in superconductivity, but the bit about quenching from a small amount of non-superconducting current sounds like rubbish to me. I'm pretty sure it's from exceeding the critical current density of the superconductor. Thoughts?GBMorris (talk) 18:29, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
This article has multiple issues:
1. It should be re-titled Superconducting Fault current limiters.
2. It wrongly dismisses non-superconductor devices as "properly termed fault current controllers." This is subjective, such terminology is not in use by major manufacturers, see item 3 below.
3. Non-superconducting FCLs are in regular commercial use. See http://www.global-download.schneider-electric.com/852577A4005D7372/all/2C81359EF04E7A0785257825006CA6BB/$File/72007_pix_is_limiter_en_hires.pdf by the major manufacturer Schneider.
4. The links and references are titled falsely and overly optimistic. For ex, the references and links titled "YCBO-type FCL enters service....." and "First commercial FCL both have other titles.
5. This technology is not yet commercial mainstream and may have electrical or economic limitations, and yet it subjectively dismisses the mainstream alternative.
6. Recommend that this article be re-titled "Superconducting Fault current limiters." A new Wiki page is needed correctly titled "Fault current limiters" which discusses in a balanced manner the mainstream non-superconducting technology, and references "Superconducting Fault current limiters." ~~1capybara
Article does not clearly state if/where there are any non-superconducting FCL's in use. Could do with a History section, eg. to indicate degree of use of non-SC FCL. Should describe the main types of non-SC FCL (not just name them). Now in 2018, where have SC-FCL have actually been installed ? - Rod57 (talk) 14:25, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
