Abstract

The operational characteristics of superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using magnetic coupling of coils were investigated. This SFCL consists of a high-Tc superconducting (HTSC) element and two coils with series or parallel connection on the same iron. This SFCL has the merit that the operational current of SFCL can be increased higher than the critical current of the superconducting element by adjusting the inductance ratio between two coils. To confirm its operation, the circuit for the fault simulation was constructed. From the measured voltage and current of the SFCL, it was confirmed that the resistance of HTSC element comprising this SFCL increased more than that of HTSC element's independent operation.
