Superconducting fault current(SFCLs) are expected to improve not only reliability but also stability of real power systems. The analysis on the single line-to-ground fault current of the integrated three phase flux-lock type SFCL, which consists of three flux-lock reactor wound on an iron core in each single phase and three YBCO thin films, was investigated in current limiting operating characteristics. We compared additive polarity winding with the subtractive one in the flux lock reactor. Its turns ratio each phase between the primary and the secondary coils is 63:42. When a single line-to-ground fault occurred in any phase, the peak value of line current in the fault phase of the additive polarity winding increased up to 31.44[A] during first-half cycle. On the other hand, the peak value in the subtractive polarity winding increased up to 81.77[A] under the same conditions. This is because the current flow between the primary and the secondary windings becomes to be additive or subtractive in each winding direction. We confirmed that the current limiting behavior in the additive polarity winding was more effective for a single-line-to ground fault.

We investigated current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type high-Tc superconcting fault current limiter(HTSC-FCL) according to fault angles. The Flux-lock type HTSC-FCL consists of primary and the secondary copper coils that are wound in parallel each other through the iron core and YBCO thin flim. In this paper, the current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type HTSC-FCL according to fault angles in case of the subtractive and additive polarity windings were compared and analyzed. From the results, the flux-lock type HTSC-FCL could limit more quickly fault current as the fault angles increased irrespective of the fault angles. On the other hand, the initial power burden of HTSC element after a fault happened increased as the fault angles increased. In addition, it was confirmed that the resistance of flux-lock type HTSC-FCL in case of subtractive polarity winding was more increased than that of additive polarity winding and that the peak current of fault current in case of subtractive polarity winding was larger than that of the additive polarity winding case.

In this paper, the operational characteristics of SFCL with magnetically coupled two coils were modeled and simulated by PSCAD/EMTDC. The dependence of the line voltage sag on the resistance of superconducting element during the fault period was analyzed. Through the analysis for the winding direction of two coils, the line voltage sag in case of the additive polarity winding was observed to be more improved compared to the case of the subtractive polarity winding.

The superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) can quickly limit the fault current shortly after the short circuit occurs and recover the superconducting state after the fault removes and plays a role in compensating the voltage sag of the sound feeder adjacent to the fault feeder as well as the fault current limiting operation of the fault feeder. Especially, the flux-lock type SFCL with an isolated transformer, which consists of two parallel connected coils on an iron core and the isolated transformer connected in series with one of two coils, has different voltage sag compensating and current limiting characteristics due to the winding direction and the inductance ratio of two coils. The current limiting and the voltage sag compensating characteristics of a SFCL using a transformer winding were analyzed. Through the analysis on the short-circuit tests results considering the winding direction of two coils, the SFCL designed with the additive polarity winding has shown the higher limited fault current than the SFCL designed with the subtractive polarity winding. It could be confirmed that the higher fault current limitation of the SFCL could be contributed to the higher load voltage sag compensation.

In this paper, we investigated the fault current limiting and the load voltage sag suppressing characteristics of the flux-lock type SFCL, designed with the additive polarity winding, according to the variations of turn number's ratio and the comparative analysis between the resistive type and the flux-lock type SFCLs were performed as well. From the analysis for the short-circuit tests, the flux-lock type SFCL designed with the larger turn number's ratio was shown to perform more effective fault current limiting and load voltage sag suppressing operations compared to the flux-lock type SFCL designed with the lower turn number's ratio through the fast quench occurrence of the high-$T_C$ superconducting (HTSC) element comprising the flux-lock type SFCL. In addition, the recovery time of the flux-lock type SFCL after the fault removed could be confirmed to be shorter in case of the flux-lock type SFCL designed with the lower turn number ratio.

The superconducting fault current limiter(SFCLs) provides the effect such as enhancement in the power system reliability due to limiting fault current in a few miliseconds. The Flux-lock type SFCL using the YBCO film among various type SFCLs consists of the primary and the secondary copper coils that are wound in parallel each other through the iron core. The operation can be controlled by adjusting the inductances and the winging directions of each the coil. We compared the current limiting performance on the additive and the subtractive polarity winding directions in case of an open-loop iron core. To analyze quench characteristics, we experimented various phase angle.

In this paper, SFCL using two magnetically coupled coils was modeled and simulated by PSCAD/EMTDC. The simulation was shown that fault current could be adjusted with the inductance ratio and the winding direction of two coils. The limited fault current in case of the additive polarity winding was lower than that of the subtractive polarity. The analysis results were compared with the calculated ones, and both the results agreed.
