We investigated the resistance distribution n 4"diameter SFCLS. $YBa_2CU_3O_7$ films coated in-situ with a gold layer were patterned into 3 mm wide 142 cm long meander lines by Photolithography. The limiters were tested with simulated fault currents. The resistance was uniform all over the film except at the edge. At lower source voltages, CFCLs did not quench simultaneously and the resistance distribution was less uniform. Compared with 2" diameter SFCLS 4" SFCLS had similar values and time dependence of resistivity at similar electric fields The resistance distribution was more uniform in 4" SFCLS. The area at the edge where the distribution was not uniform was around 3 mm wide in SFCLs of both sizes. The experimental results were quantitatively explained with a heat transfer concept.
