We present the basic properties of a superconducting current limiting fuse (SCLF) based on YBCO/Au films. The SCLFs consists of YBCO stripes covered with Au layers for current shunt. Under the source voltage of 100 $V_{rms}$, the longer the duration time of fault current was, the shorter its discharge time was. The duration time of fault current and its discharge time were reduced by increased voltages in the range of 200 - 300 $V_{rms}$. We thought that this was because the quench propagation was limited by local melting generated with higher voltage.

We investigated the basic properties of a superconductive current limiting fuse (SCLF) based on YBCO/Au films. The SCLF consists of meander type YBCO stripes covered with an Au layer for current shunt. The fault current was first limited to a designed value in less than 0.4 msec by resistance development in YBCO/Au upon quenching. This enables the SCLF to transfer small fault power and the suppressed current was sustained for more than 0.5 msec while Au layer melting and arcing. The arcing time was less than 2.5 msec, that is short enough to do self-interruption.

전기설비에 있어서 저압회로의 과전류 보호기기로는 배선용 차단기, 기중차단기, 한류퓨즈,전자개폐기 등이 있다. 배선용 차단기가 주 회로에 대한 과전류와 단락보호가 목적이라면 전자개폐기는 주 회로의 개폐, 즉 전동기 전원의 개폐를 주 목적으로 하므로 빈번하고 불규칙한 개폐동작에 의해 발생되는 Arc 에너지에 대해 전기적으로 내구 성능을 확보하는 것이 중요하다. 전기적 내구 성능은 수명과 품질을 결정하는 중요한 요인으로 관련업체에서는 전기적 내구성능을 향상시키기 위한 활동을 활발히 하고 있다. 성능 향상을 위해서는 시험규격에 적합한 시험회로와 설비구성을 통한 시험진행이 필수적이다. 여기서는 시험설비의 효율적인 활용을 통해 제품과 시험규격이 요구하는 여러 시험조건을 동시에 만족시켜 시험기간을 단축 할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

We present the basic properties of a superconductive fuse (SF) based on YBCO/Au films. The SF consists of YBCO stripes covered with Au layers for current shunt. The fault current was limited to a designed value in less than 0.4 msec by resistance development in YBCO/Au upon quenching. This enabled the SF to transfer small fault power and the suppressed current was sustained for more than 0.5 msec while Au layer melting and arcing.

The fuse used in the high voltage distribution line often fails due to the active ionization caused by the strong electric field at fuse terminal. To suppress the ionization at the high voltage and high capacity current limiting fuse, the particle size and compactness of silica sand, the design, length, notch number and material of element, the diameter and length of fuse body must be considered carefully. However, these are not many proper which is treated with the inherent interrupting characteristics from many parameters at present. Because of these reasons, time and effort are needed to develop the new type fuse by the fuse designers in relation with the inherent characteristics from each of parameters. In this paper we choose 7 parameters with weight value based on study and experimentation and analyzed the characteristics of arcing period. In addition, we proposed the experimental method to experimentation and analyzed the characteristics of arcing period. In addition, we proposed the experimental method to extract the optimal design parameters with minimal effort as related the mutual effect from each of the parameters.

This paper analyzed bus voltage sag caused by recloser-fuse coordination in a power distribution system with SFCL. Generally, the recloser is installed to upstream of fuse to clear against both permanent and temporary faults appropriately, when the fault happened and to block expansion of the fault area. Furthermore, when the fault occurred, bus voltage sag is caused by increased fault currents. However, in a power distribution system with SFCL, the fault current could be decreased by the effect of the impedance value of the SFCL and place to install one as long as it could improve bus voltage sag. Therefore, to analyze the effect of the improvement of bus voltage sag caused by recloser-fuse coordination in a power distribution system with SFCL, we used PSCAD/EMTDC about a permanent fault at the place behind the fuse.
