Design Blueprint: A Resistive Superconducting Fault-Current Limiter for a Distribution Feeder: Tape Length, Limited Current and Recovery Time

Design blueprint derived from the source paper (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.24147778): This paper presents a computed design for a fault-current limiter intended for superconducting power devices, with its performance, resource budgets and margins derived from stated assumptions rather than asserted. The headline results are: tape length per phase required at the allowable quench field of 225 m; limited fault current, peak of 2.18 kA; prospective fault current, peak, for comparison Status: DESIGN BLUEPRINT — SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED — NOT BUILT. All numbers are simulated values from the source paper's computation, deposited with this blueprint as compute.py and results.json. AI-use disclosure: Dave, an AI research system, assisted with the computation and drafting under the author's direction; author of record William Alexander Aldred.
