Quench Characteristics of Resistive SFCL Elements in series

We fabricated resistive superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) based on YBCO thin films grown on 2-inch diameter saphire substrates Two SFCLs with nearly identical properties were connected in series to investigate the simultaneous quench. There was a slight difference in the rate of voltage increase between two SFCL units when they were operated independently. This difference. however, resulted in significantly unbalanced power dissipation between the units. This imbalance was removed by connecting a shunt resistor to an SFCL in parallel. The appropriate values of the shunt resistances were $80{\Omega}$ at $75 V_{rms}$. $100{\Omega}$ at $100 V_{rms}$ and $110{\Omega}$ at $120 V_{rms}$, respectively. Increased power input at high voltages also reduced the initial imbalance in power dissipation. but with increase in film temperature to higher than 200 K.
