Abstract

In this paper, the development and the test of 13.2kV/630A high-Tc superconducting fault current limiting coil are described. The fault current limiting coil made of Coated Conductor (CC) was fabricated with bifilar winding method for non-inductive characteristics and tested in the distribution power system level in Dec. 2006. In order to determine the length of the superconducting coil, applied voltage per unit length(V/m) was studied analytically and it was verified through experiments. For the volume minimization, the coil was designed with concentrical arrangement method. The short-circuit test was performed with the prospective fault current of asymmetrical 10kA whose maximum fault current was $30kA_{peak}$. In the test, the voltage drop and the current of the coil were measured and the resistance of the coil was obtained. Also, the temperature rise of the coil was calculated with the relationship between the resistance and the temperature of CC. In this paper, the experimental results are analyzed and compared with the simulation.
