220rms/100Apeak급 초전도 사고전류제한기의 제작 및 특성실험

We analyzed the characteristics of a power system with superconducting fault current limiter and showed the possibility of the application of a superconducting fault current limiter to a real power system through manufacturing of and experiment about 220Vrms/100Apeak class superconducting fault current limiter. We experimentally confirmed that the overvoltage of superconducting fault current limiter increased as the rate of current sharing to the limiting coil grew. The fault current could be limited within a few milliseconds when it was applied to a power system in series. Therefore, we could confirm that superconducting fault current limiter was effective in protection of a substation or power plant at short-circuit fault. (author). 7 refs., 7 figs., 2 tabs.
