The flux-coupling type superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) is composed of a series transformer and superconducting unit of the YBCO thin films. The primary and secondary coils in the transformer were wound in series each other through an iron core and the YBCO thin film was connected with secondary coil in parallel. In a normal condition, the flux generated from a primary coil is cancelled out by its structure and the zero resistance of the YBCO thin films. When a fault occurs, the resistance of the YBCO thin films was generated and the fault current was limited by the SFCL. In this paper, we investigated the fault current limiting characteristics according to fault current level in the flux-coupling type SFCL. The experiment results that the fault current limiting characteristics was improved according to increase of the fault current level.

The separated three-phase flux-coupling type superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) is composed of a series transformer and superconducting unit of the YBCO coated conductor. The primary and secondary coils in the transformer were wound in series each other through an iron core and the YBCO coated conductor was connected with secondary coil in parallel. In this paper, we investigated the current limiting characteristics through winding number of coil 2 and winding direction in the flux-coupling type SFCL. Through the analysis, it was shown that additive polarity condition and lower winding number of coil 2 have advantaged from the point of view of fault current limiting and burned of YBCO coated conductor.

We investigated a flux-coupling type superconducting fault current(SFCL) limiter. The SFCL consisted of the primary and secondary coils, which were wound in series each other through an iron core. Superconducting unit was connected with secondary coil in parallel. The flux generated from a coil in normal operation is cancelled out by its structure and the zero resistance of the superconducting unit. In this paper. In order to compare the current limiting effects of the SFCL by applied voltage. When a lied voltage was increased, quench time was shortened Fast quench time is important component under the same fault condition because power burden of the SFCL is reduced by that of the superconducting units. The current limiting behavior of flux-coupling type SFCL was dependent upon the applied voltage.

In this paper, we compared the current limiting characteristics of both the hybrid type and the flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiters(SFCLs), which have a magnetic coupling structure between a primary winding and several secondary windings. The limiting impedances of two SFCLs were derived from each equivalent circuit considering the design parameters of SFCL such as the self-inductance of secondary winding and the resistance of $high-T_C$ superconducting(HTSC) element. Through the comparison for the limiting impedances of two SFCLs considering the dependence of the HTSC element's resistance on the applying voltage into the SFCL, the hybrid type SFCL was confirmed to have larger limiting impedance with smaller resistance of HTSC element than the flux-lock type SFCL. It was expected from the analysis that the hybrid type SFCL was more advantageous than the flux-lock type SFCL from the viewpoint of the fault current limiting level.

We investigated fault current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL), which consisted of a primary winding and several secondary windings connected in series between $high-T_C$ superconducting (HTSC) thin films. Each YBCO thin film has a 2 mm wide and 42 cm long meander line with 14 stripes of different length. The power imbalance due to the slight difference of Ie between YBCO current limiting elements causes the significant power burden on YBCO element with lower $I_C$. We confirmed from our experiments that the mutual coupling between the primary winding and secondary windings of the flux-lock type SFCL reduced the power imbalance between YBCO current limiting elements compared with the resistive type SFCL connected in series.

Magnetic coupling is used where required high reliability. because magnetic coupling's durability is stronger than mechanical coupling's durability. This paper shows the characteristics of radially magnetized tubular type magnetic coupling by using Analytical method such as space harmonic method. Analytical method was used, to find force characteristics. First, on the basis of the magnetic vector potential and two-dimensional(2-D) polar-coordinate system, the magnetic field solutions of the radially magnetized permanent magnet are obtained. And we obtain the analytical solutions for the flux density produced by permanent magnet. Finally, we can calculate the force by using the Maxwell stress tensor. And then, Finite element method(FEM) is used to validate force characteristics.

In this paper, a practical implementation to reduce leakage flux of a high-frequency inverter based non-contact type power transformer composed of EE-shape ferrite cores is presented for key technology of the next generation medical use X-ray CT scanner system. Design consideration for the unique structure of the non-contact power transformer with 900mm in diameter is also introduced. The complete non-contact transformer is actually arranged by several blocks of the magnetic circuit assembled by using 10 small EE shape cores with 120mm in length. It is experimentally and analytically discussed from a reduced leakage flux viewpoint related to its inductively coupling coefficient. A practical method to lower the leakage flux is described based on effective Copper-Sheet- Treatment placed on EE shape ferrite cores of magnetic circuit.

The breaking capacity of circuit breakers could be no more increased in the electric power system. This is because the fault current increases due to continuous increases in electric power demand and facilities. To solve the problem, it is necessary to come up with an alternative. The superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has received an attention among various alternatives. The SFCL effectively reduce a fault current in cooperation with a power circuit breaker. A various types of the SFCL are suggested and a study on them have been progressed. As a result of it, the SFCL can be applyed to the electric power system in the near future. But, a study on recovery behaviors of the SFCL is not enough for applying to the electric power system. If the superconducting elements do not completely recover to the superconducting state after fault operation, it might be a breakdown of the superconducting elements due to heavy power burden and it gives an bad influence on the working of other electric devices. Additionally, the distribution power system has reclosing operation such as open-0.3sec-closed/open-3min-closed/open procedure. So we need to study more about improvement of the recovery behaviors of the SFCL. In this paper, we analyzed the recovery behaviors of a flux-coupling type SFCL according to reclosing operation when a single line-to-ground fault occurred and we compared recovery behaviors of the SFCL with and without a neutral line between secondary reactors and superconducting elements. Also, the flux-coupling type SFCL has advantageous for increases of capacity by controlling the variation in turn ratios between two reactors. Consequently, when the number of turns of the secondary reactors increased, the power burden of the superconducting elements was bigger due to the increase of impedances of the secondary reactors. To distribute the power burden, two superconducting elements connected in series and the balanced quenching of the superconducting elements was induced by connecting a neutral line.
