In this paper, the fault current limiting operations of three-phase transformer type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using double quench, which consisted of E-I iron core with three legs wound by primary and secondary windings and two superconducting modules (SCMs), were analyzed according to three-phase ground fault types. To verify the effective operation of the three-phase transformer type SFCL using double quench, the test circuit for three-phase ground faults was constructed, and the fault current tests were carried out. Through analysis on the fault current test results, the different fault current limiting characteristics of three-phase transformer type SFCL using double quench from three-phase transformer type SFCL using three SCMs were discussed.

The fault current limiting characteristics of three-phase transformer type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL), which consisted of three-phase primary and secondary windings wound on E-I iron core, one high-TC superconducting (HTSC) element connected with the secondary winding of one phase and another HTSC element connected in parallel with other two secondary windings of two phases, were analyzed. Unlike other three-phase transformer type SFCLs with three HTSC elements, three-phase transformer type SFCL using double quench has the merit to perform fault current limiting operation for three-phase ground faults with two HTSC elements. To verify its proper three-phase ground fault current limiting operation, three-phase ground faults such as single-line ground, double-line ground and triple-line ground faults were generated in three-phase simulated power system installed with three-phase transformer type SFCL using double quench. From analysis of its fault current limiting characteristics based on tested results, three-phase transformer type SFCL using double quench was shown to be effectively operated for all three-phase ground faults.

The flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) connects the two parallel windings in parallel with a ferromagnetic core. We suggest that the double quench flux-lock type SFCL should add a third winding. We analyzed characteristics of the fault current and the peak current using the quench of the high-Tc superconducting element. The proposed SFCL's inductances of a primary winding and the third winding were fixed and the amplitude of inductance of the secondary winding was changed. We found that the fault current can be more effectively controlled through the analysis of the equivalent circuit and the short-circuit tests.

A serious problem in using YBCO films for fault current limiter is inhomogeneities caused by imperpect manufacturing. So simultaneous quenches are a difficult problem which elements for current limiting are connected in series for increasing voltage ratings. We investigated extended electric field - current characteristics for current limiting element of YBCO film when 0-130mT magnetic field is applied. And quench characteristics were investigated in over all element and between elements of YBCO films. From the experiments, it was shown that applied magnetic fields using solenoid coil induced uniform quench distribution for over all stripes and simultaneous quench in all elements for current limiting of YBCO film was realized.

We present current limiting properties of 1.2kV/70A superconducting fault current limiter based on YBCO thin films. This is consisted of 6 wafers (3 parallel ${\times}$ 2 serial connection) with 4 inch-diameter YBCO thin film. The quench current Iq of the switching elements vary between 33.9 and 35.6 A. Within the difference of 0.5 A in the sum of quench current Iq in two stacks, the serial connection of the stacks showed the simultaneous quench behavior in applied power of 1.2 kV /70 A.

In superconductor power systems, a quench detector can misrecognize oscillation about current or voltage control as a quench. So, for the correct detection of a quench, it seems need to guarantee a smooth control of current or voltage. In this paper, we have studied a control function and control parameter for smooth control of current or voltage.

Superconducting wire is quenching as soon as transport current exceeded the critical current value. However transport current exceeded the critical current value, quench is not generated immediately. In this paper, the results of the theoretical study for time delay of quench phenomenon are described.

YBCO thin films have good characteristics for current limiting materials due to compact size and high current carrying capability. But the irregularities and the extreme thin thickness of YBCO films cause some difficulties in simultaneous quench and thermal shock protection. In order to solve these problems, vertical magnetic field generated from solenoid coil was applied to the YBCO element. And also to minimize the inductance caused by the serial connection of magnetic field source with superconducting elements, magnetic field source was separated from the power lines adapting protective current transformer. In this study, electric field-current (E-I) and quench characteristics of YBCO films were analyzed both by electrical measuring method and observations of bubble propagation. From the experiment results, it was revealed that the magnetic fields generated by surrounding coil could induce the uniform quench distribution for all stripes of current limiting units and finally simultaneous quenches were realized in all serial connection of YBCO elements. In addition, the separation of magnetic field source form electrical network could be good solution for simultaneous quench of YBCO films without any unnecessary effect caused by serial connection.

This paper is to analyze the Premature Quench characteristics of a rotating magnet type superconducting fluxpump and consider the method of detecting and protecting this premature quench. Practically, there is contact resistance between the fluxpump and the load, namely the S.C. magnet. The thermal increase due to the contact resistance cause the premature quench before the charging current amounts to the critical current of S.C magnet. Therefore, this paper is devoted to solving the heat equation on contact region using cylindrical coordinates and to calculating the rate of thermal increase during the current is pumped up. Doing so, the predictive value of the maximum pumping current is obtained. It has been verified that the results of simulation are coincident with those of experiment. It must be considered essentially to minimize the contact resistance in designing the S.C fluxpump system in order to protect the premature quench and improve the maximum pumping current.

Cold 층을 입힌 저항형 초전도 한류기의 전류 제한 특성을 통하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 고장발생후 3.2 msec 후에 quench가 발생하였으며, 부분적인 quench가 발생한 다음 시간이 지나면서 완전한 quench로 진행되었다. 즉, 선로고장에 따른 quench 발생 후 YBCO 초전도체의 gold층으로 대부분의 전류가 흐르게 되고, quench 되면서 발생하는 열도 대부분 gold층에서 흡수하여저항이 증가하였으며 이에 따른 전류감소, 전압증가 및 소비전력증가가 발생하였다. 인가전압 V$_0$=65 V$_{peak}$이고 R$_0$는 1 ${\omega}$, 그리고 R$_L$을 7.7 ${\omega}$으로 하였을 때 사고모의 위상각 0$^{\circ}$에서 고장발생후 0.9 msec 후인 9.6 A$_{peak}$ 되는 지점에서 quench가 발생하여 13.0 A$_{peak}$의 최대한류전류값을 보인후 11.4 A$_{peak}$의 전류값에서 fast quench가 완료되었다. 이때 quench 시간은0.63 msec 이었다. 저항값은 gold층에서 발생한 열때문에 점진적인 상승을 보이다가 약 3주기후에 일정한 값에 도달하였다. 한류소자의 온도는 약 11 msec 후에 상온에 도달하였으며, 3 주기후인 54 msec에는 150 $^{\circ}C$까지 상승하였다. gold 박막을 입힌 meander line은 임계전류 이상의 전류를 통전하였을 때에 용단되지 않았으며 ??치된 상태에서 3 사이클 이상 유지하였다. 약65 A$_{rms}$가 흘렀을 때에야 ??치후 3 사이클 지나용단되었다. 이러한 YBCO/gold에 의한 초전도한류기의 용량은 gold에 발생하는 열을 gold가감당할 수 있는 전류의 크기와 관련이 있으며, gold층이 YBCO 한류소자가 quench되었을 때 발생하는 열을 효과적으로 분산시킬 뿐만 아니라 전기적으로 shunt 회로 역할을 하고 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 이에 더하여 앞으로 quench 후 한류소자에서 발생할 수 있는 인덕턴스의 저감방안에 대한 설계 및 모델 탐구를 통하여 좀더 효율적인 한류소자 구성에 대한 연구를 병행하고자 한다.
