  The increase of current uniformity along of a resistive type superconductor
fault current limiter (R-SFCL) in the design of this type of limiters is well
perceived as an important issue. The non-uniform distribution of current in
R-SFCL only increases the current in some superconducting regions, as a result,
in the fault conditions, only certain parts of the superconductor undergo a
phase change that increases the heat pressure in those areas and causes the
breakdown and destruction of the device. In this paper, the current density
distributions in common patterns used in R-SFCs constructions have been
simulated and investigated. To this end, an effective model is proposed for
R-SFCL to achieve the highest uniformity of current and harmonic phase change
over superconductors compared to other patterns. The simulation results in the
Ansys Maxwell Software advocate the appropriate and satisfying performance of
the proposed model.
