Abstract

The Resistive Type High Temperature Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) has been developed in many countries. Until now, materials of the resistive SFCL were Bi2212 bulk and YBCO thin film. Although YBCO coated conductor (CC) has many advantages such as high n-value and critical current for applying resistive SFCL, the resistive SFCL using CC doesn't have developed yet. The bifilar winding type SFCL was manufactured and tested rated on 30V/80A. In normal state, the SFCL using pancake type bifilar winding had very low impedance. When a fault occurred, the SFCL limited the fault current efficiently. Through these results of experiment, large-scale SFCL using CC should be developed in the future.
