Abstract

The resistive type superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) is a current limiter using the Quench mechanism of superconductors. When Quench occurs in superconductors, the resistance of superconductors increases abruptly. In order to increase SFCL capacity, current limiting elements were connected in series. If the Quench current of each element was different, voltage distribution was imbalanced. This imbalance could be removed by arrangement including series and parallel connection of elements. Based on this result, an SFCL of 1.8kV/50A was designed and experimented, expecially, in terms of increasing the voltage rating.
