We investigated the quench characteristics of a superconducting element, two superconducting elements in order to increase the current capacity of flux lock type SFCL. The flux-lock type SFCL consisted of the transformer with a primary winding and a secondary winding connected in parallel, and the superconducting element was connected with secondary winding in series. The applied voltage at that time was 160 ${\sqrt{3}}$. We found that the parallel connection between the superconducting elements increased the power capacity and let quench characteristics improve through their mutual linkage.

Electrical breakdown characteristics of liquid nitrogen(LNd used as both coolant and insulator for high $T_c$ superconductor system is very important. This paper presents dynamic breakdown characteristics of liquid nitrogen by quench penomena of thermal bubble under high electric field. As the result, the breakdown mechanism of $LN_2$ depends on thermal bubble effect. The breakdown voltage decreases slightly with increasing heating. In the Electrode arrangement, electrical breakdown voltage of horizontal arrangement appears lower than that of vertical arrangement.

We simulated the current limiting characteristics of a resistive superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) for a single line-to-ground fault in the 22.9 kV system. The transient current during the fault increased to 6.33 kA, 5.80 kA and 3.71 kA without SFCL at the fault angles 0$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$, respectively, a resistive SFCL limited effectively the fault current to 2.27 kA in a half cycle without any DC components. The maximum quench resistance of an SFCL, 16Ω was suggested to be appropriate to limit the fault current in the 22.9 kV distribution system, considering the operating cooperation of a protective relay and the current limiting performance of an SFCL.

This paper presents a study on the stability of bare and cu-laminated YBCO-coated conductor. we investigate the characteristics of quench/recovery behavior of YBCO test samples. bare and copper-laminated, by subjecting each test sample. immersed in a bath of liquid nitrogen boiling at 77.3 K. to a transport current pulse superimposed to a baseline DC current of 90-95% the critical current. The current pulse has an amplitude up to ∼4.5 times the critical current and a duration of 300 ms. This paper presents both experimental and simulation results.

YBCO coated conductor called the second-generation superconducting tapes have resistance increase significantly more than BSCCO tapes in terms of the speed or amount when quench occurs, they may have different ranges of application. Such characteristics are thought to get different properties by selection of stabilizing materials in manufacturing superconducting tapes. It is important in selecting superconducting tapes which will be applied to power devices in the future. In this study, one kind of BSCCO tapes and two kinds of YBCO CC with different stabilizing materials and one kind of YBCO CC with non stabilizing materials were used to compare and examine transport characteristics in flux-flow state and quench state with each tape joint of HTS tapes.

We investigated the quench characteristics of thin film type SFCLs with shunt layers of various thickness. The SFCLs ware based on 2 inch diameter YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7}$ thin films coated in-situ with a gold shunt layer. The shunt layer thickness was varied by Ar ion milling. The limiters were tested with simulated fault currents at various source voltages. The thinner the shunt layer was, the slower was the rise of SFCL temperatures. This means SFCLs of thinner shunt layers had higher voltage ratings. The voltage rating was approximately inversely proportional to the square root of the shunt layer thickness. This result could be understood through the concept of heat balance.e.

In order to study the basic I-V behavior and quench characteristics, we fabricated two kinds of small superconducting coils which were wound with different superconductors. In this study, it was made clear that the propagation. velocity of normal zone preferentially depends on the operation current rather than heat pulse energy and also increases exponentially with respect to operation current.

we compared the operating characteristics between flux-lock type and resistive type superconducting fault current limiters(SFCLs). Flux-lock type SFCL consists of two coils, which are wound in parallel each other through an iron core, and a high-Tc superconducting(HTSC) element is connected with coil 2 in series. The the flux-lock type SFCL can be divided into the subtractive polarity winding and the additive polarity winding operations according to the winding directions between the coil 1 and coil 2. It was confirmed from experiments that flux-lock type SFCL could improve both the quench characteristics and the transport capacity compared to the resistive type SFCL, which means, the independent operation of HTSC element.

We investigated the characteristics of flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) by the fault cycles. Since the recovery characteristics of a superconducting element in the flux-lock type SFCL were dependent on the winding' direction between two coils, the analysis for the recovery characteristics of this type SFCL together with the current limiting characteristic is necessary to apply it to power system. As the fault cycles was increased from 1 cycle to 5 cycles, the initial limiting current ($I_{ini}$) and quench characteristic were mostly same. As the fault period increases, the recovery time of the superconducting element increases. The consumed energy and recovery characteristics in a superconducting element show the same tendency.
