Soft transition characteristics lead to higher core losses and a derating in the maximum nominal operating current. Flux uniformity is improved by using a combination of extended magnets and an anisotropic saturable core. The use of distributed permanent magnets or an extended magnet leads to larger differential inductance ratios.}, pages = {2624--2626}, title = {Design Improvements to a Three-Material Passive Magnetic Current Limiter}, volume = {37}, year = {2001} }
