A rapid increase in power capacity in a power system can seriously reduce system reliability by causing the fault capacity to exceed the breaking capacity of circuit breaker. Fault current limiter is a practical and effective way to improve reliability by limiting fault capacity to the breaking capacity level. In this study, in order to help develop an application methodology when applying fault current limiters to power systems, first the topology and operating principles of each type of fault current limiters was reviewed, and the main advantages and disadvantages was compared. Next, to verify the effect of applying fault current limiter to the power system, the power system in which the fault current limiter was introduced was modeled. Finally, after simulating a three-phase short-circuit fault using EMTP-RV, the effect of application was verified by comparing the fault current before and after application of the fault current limiter and confirming that the fault current was reduced by the fault current limiter.

A subcooled liquid nitrogen cryostat is required for the cooling of a 6.6 ㎸, 200 A resistive type superconductive fault current limiter (SFCL). To help understand and design an appropriate cryostat for SFCL a prototype cryostat was fabricated and tested. Several states of subcooled liquid nitrogen were obtained by using cryocooler and helium gas. The temperature was uniformly distributed inside the liquid nitrogen vessel within the range of 0.4 K proving the effectiveness of the conduction cylinder.
