Abstract

AC loss of a high $T_c$ superconducting conductor has a strong influence on the economic viability of a superconducting fault current limiter, which offers an attractive means to limit short circuit current in the power systems. Therefore, several samples of the fault current limiting coils have been fabricated and the effect of conductor's arrangement and current direction on AC loss characteristics investigated experimentally The test result shows that the AC losses measured in the fault current limiting coils depend significantly on the conductor's arrangement. Futhermore, they are also considerably influenced by the conductor's current direction. The AC loss measured in the face-to-face arrangement is smallest among the fault current limiting coil samples.
