When the current of the superconducting element exceeds its critical current by the fault occurrence, the quench of the high-$T_C$ superconducting fault current limiter (HTSC) comprising the flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) occurs. Simultaneously, the magnetic flux in the iron core induces the voltage in each coil, which contributes to limit the fault current. In this paper, the fault current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type SFCL as well as the load voltage sag suppressing characteristics according to the flux-lock type SFCL's winding direction were investigated. To confirm the fault current limiting and the voltage sag suppressing characteristics of the this SFCL, the short-circuit tests for the simulated power system with the flux-lock type SFCL were carried out. The flux-lock type SFCL designed with the additive polarity winding was shown to perform more effective fault current limiting and load voltage sag suppressing operations through the fast quench occurrence right after the fault occurs and the fast recovery operation after the fault removes than the flux-lock type SFCL designed with the subtractive polarity winding.

NZP velocities were investigated on Ag sheathed multi filamentary Bi-2223 tape and direction type HTS cable. The critical current($I_c$) of Ag sheathed Bi-2223 tape and direction type HTS cable were 12 A, 63 A at 77 K, 0 T. NZP velocities of tape with two condition of DC and AC were almost same at each temperature. In case of DC, the NZP velocities of numerical analysis and experiment were almost same. NZP velocities of direction type HTS cable were 1.9-2.4 cm/sec. The result shows that the total transport current of spiral type HTS cable in $LN_2$ was 475[A], and transport current passed through almost the outer layer (2-layer). Also, AC transport losses in outer layer of HTS cable was proportion to $I^2$ and higher than losses of inner layer. And in case of $I_p=I_c$, calculated numerical loss density was concentrated on the edge of tape and most of loss density in cable was distributed outer layer more than inner layer.

In this paper, a transformer type SFCL (superconducting fault current limiter) using an additional magnetically coupled circuit was suggested. Its transient fault current limiting characteristics, due to the winding direction of additional coupled circuit, were analyzed through fault current limiting tests. The suggested transformer type SFCL was composed of the primary winding, and one secondary winding wound on the same iron core together with an additional magnetically coupled circuit. That circuit consists of the other secondary winding together with the other SC (superconducting) element connected in parallel with its other secondary winding. As one of the effective design parameters to affect the transient fault current of the SFCL, the fault current limiting tests of the suggested SFCL were carried out considering the winding direction of its additional coupled circuit. It was confirmed that, through the analysis on the fault current tests of the SFCL, the quench sequence of two SC elements comprising the suggested SFCL could be adjusted by the winding direction of the additional coupled circuit.

We investigated the quench characteristics accordance with increase of turns and applied voltage of matrix-type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) with $1{\times}3$ matrixes. The matrix-type SFCL consists of the trigger part to apply magnetic field and the current-limiting part to limit fault current. The fault current limiting characteristics according to the increase of magnetic field and applied voltage were nearly same. This is because the application of magnetic field has not an affect on total impedance of SFCL. When number of turns of reactor increased, the voltage difference between two superconducting units in the current-limiting part according was decreased. The resistance difference generated in two superconducting units also was decreased. Therefore, we confirmed that the differences of critical behaviors between superconducting units by application of magnetic field were decreased. By this results, we could be decided the optimum number of turns of reactor to apply magnetic field.

HTS power cable bypass the fault current through the former to protect superconducting tapes. On the other hand, the fault current limiting (FCL) power cable can be considered to mitigate the fault current using its increased inductance and resistance. Using the increased resistance of the cable is similar to the conventional resistive fault current limiter. In case of HTS power cable, the magnetic field of HTS power cable is mostly shielded by the induced current on the shield layer during normal operation. However, quench occurs at the shield layer and its current is kept below its critical current at the fault condition. Consequently, the magnetic field starts to spread out and it generates additional inductive impedance of the cable. The inductive impedance can be enhanced more by installing materials of high magnetic susceptibility around the HTS power cable. It is a concept of SFCL power cable. In this paper, a sample SFCL power cable is suggested and experimental results are presented to investigate the effect of iron cover on the impedance generation. The tests results are analyzed to verify the generation of the inductive and resistive impedance. The analysis results suggest the possible applications of the SFCL power cable to reduce the fault current in a real grid.

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.

Dry winding is generally adopted in superconducting coils of an UPS system. In these kinds of coils a quench is often initiated by a disturbance such as wire motion that generates a highly localized normal zone in a superconducting wire. To fabricate the stable coils, stability of the superconducting wire should be touched. In this paper, a model for a transient stability analysis of the wire is suggested. The influence of a local disturbance, cooling, an external field and a stabilizer to superconductor ratio on the wire stability is investigated and discussed.

MRI magnet has generally multi-section coil configurations to generate highly homogeneous magnetic field. Each coil is bridged by a shunt resistor to protect the superconducting magnet during quench. In order to optimize the shunt resistor, self inductance of each coil and mutual inductances between coils should be determined beforehand. Therefore, we calculated the self and the mutual inductances of MRI magnet with OPERA program for electromagnetic analysis.

본 논문에서는 고장발생 초기에 초전도 전류제한기를 구성하는 초전도 소자의 ��치발생을 검출하여 고장전류의 경로를 별도의 상전도 전류제한기로 우회시킴으로써 초전도 전류제한기의 회복시간을 단축시킬 수 있는 초전도소자의 트리거를 이용한 초전도 전류제한기의 전류제한 및 회복특성에 대해 분석하였다. 고장전류 크기를 조절하기 용이한 구성요소로 상전도 전류제한기의 저항크기에 따른 초전도 전류제한기를 구성하고 있는 전력용스위치의 개방시점과 투입시점의 변화를 비교하였으며, 분석을 통해 상전도 전류 제한기의 저항이 증가할수록 초전도 전류제한기를 구성하는 전력용스위치의 복귀시간이 길게 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study presents a methodology to predict the hardenability of quenched carbon steels. The equation of transient heat conduction is analyzed to formulate a cooling curve by a finite element method which incorperates coupled effects of temperature on physical properties, the metallic structures and also the latent heat by phase transformation. The volume traction of martensite and pearlite are the structural analysis for hardenability analysis. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of adopting a full quench model respectively. This procedure could be used as the database for optimal condition of heat treatment processes.
