The production of bulk Bi2+xSr3-yCa yCu 2O8+delta (Bi-2212) superconductors for fault current limiter application was developed via a partial-melting route. Aiming high Ic (critical current), which is the essential superconducting characteristic for application of this material in the construction of Fault Current Limiters (FCL), the produced blocks have predominance of Bi-2212 phase (83 wt%), which characterizes with high values of zero and onset transport critical temperature of 92K and 97.5K, respectively. A relatively low transition width, deltaT, from the superconducting to the normal state of 5.5K, revealed a good intergrain connectivity. Consequently, current measurements on the blocks of Bi-2212 show promising Ic values of 230A and 850A for direct and alternate current, respectively. It is expected that further increases in the Ic values will depend on the elimination of an observed amorphous phase and further reduction of amount and grain sizes of secondary phases, still present in the blocks obtained by the proposed partial-melting route. This may be achieved by a further optimization of the partial-melting processing parameters
