The latest development flow of MCCB(Molded Case Circuit Breaker) is largely separated from which are high capability of interrupting compact of size and multi-ability in functions. As follow of development of industrial system. MCCB which are including communication function and having a ultimate interrupting capability is required in electrical system. to attain an effective limitation of the peak let-through current and the let-through energy, the arc has to move rapidly off the contacts and has to increase the arc voltage which mainly effect to interrupt. In this paper. we made high performance circuit breaker which including current limiting unit which is attached to the main which is simulated by CAE tool that are repulsion force and mechanical dynamics after that we tested and finally selected optimized for circuit breaker.

This paper suggests an application method for a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using an evaluation index to estimate the risk regarding the short-circuit capacity of the circuit breaker (CB). Recently, power distribution systems have become more complex to ensure that supply continuously keeps pace with the growth of demand. However, the mesh or loop network power systems suffer from a problem in which the fault current exceeds the short-circuit capacity of the CBs when a fault occurs. Most case studies on the application of the SFCL have focused on its development and performance in limiting fault current. In this study, an analysis of the application method of an SFCL considering the risk of the CB's short-circuit capacitor was carried out in situations when a fault occurs in a loop network power system, where each line connected with the fault point carries a different current that is above or below the short-circuit capacitor of the CB. A loop network power system using PSCAD/EMTDC was modeled to investigate the risk ratio of the CB and the effect of the SFCL on the reduction of fault current through various case studies. Through the risk evaluations of the simulation results, the estimation of the risk ratio is adequate to apply the SFCL and demonstrate the fault current limiting effect.

본 논문에서는 고장발생 초기에 초전도 전류제한기를 구성하는 초전도 소자의 ��치발생을 검출하여 고장전류의 경로를 별도의 상전도 전류제한기로 우회시킴으로써 초전도 전류제한기의 회복시간을 단축시킬 수 있는 초전도소자의 트리거를 이용한 초전도 전류제한기의 전류제한 및 회복특성에 대해 분석하였다. 고장전류 크기를 조절하기 용이한 구성요소로 상전도 전류제한기의 저항크기에 따른 초전도 전류제한기를 구성하고 있는 전력용스위치의 개방시점과 투입시점의 변화를 비교하였으며, 분석을 통해 상전도 전류 제한기의 저항이 증가할수록 초전도 전류제한기를 구성하는 전력용스위치의 복귀시간이 길게 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다.

In designing the autotransformer type superconducting fault-current limiter (SFCL), one must consider that the iron core can be saturated for the SFCL to have effective fault-current limiting operation. In this paper, to examine the saturation of the iron core comprising SFCL during the fault period, the linkage flux and the magnetizing current of the SFCL were derived from the electrical equivalent circuit with the nonlinear exciting branch. By analysis on the linkage flux versus the magnetizing current of the autotransformer type SFCL, calculated from the short-circuit tests, the design condition for the suppression of the iron core's saturation was discussed.

We investigated the characteristics of a flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) considering magnetization characteristic of iron core. The flux-lock type SFCL, like other types of SFCLs using the iron core, undergoes the saturation of the iron core during the initial fault time. Therefore, if the design to prevent the saturation of the iron core is considered, the effective fault current limiting operation can be achieved. Through the analysis for its equivalent circuit including the magnetization characteristic of the iron core, the limiting impedance of the flux-lock type SFCL was drawn. The magnetization currents and the limited currents of SFCL, which were dependent on the winding direction and the turns' ratio between two coils, were investigated from the short circuit experiment. It was confirmed that their experimental results agreed with the analysis ones.

The superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) with a peak current limiting function according to the initial fault current with the different amplitudes was suggested. The proposed SFCL, which consists of two limiting components, causes only the first superconducting element among two limiting components to be quenched in case that the initial fault current with the lower peak amplitude happens. On the other hand, the initial fault current with the higher peak amplitude makes both the superconducting elements of two limiting components to be quenched, which contributes to the peak current limiting function of the SFCL. To confirm the fault current limiting operation of the proposed SFCL, the short-circuit tests of the SFCL according to the fault angle were carried out and its effective fault current limiting operations could be discussed.

The superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) can quickly limit the fault current shortly after the short circuit occurs and recover the superconducting state after the fault removes and plays a role in compensating the voltage sag of the sound feeder adjacent to the fault feeder as well as the fault current limiting operation of the fault feeder. Especially, the flux-lock type SFCL with an isolated transformer, which consists of two parallel connected coils on an iron core and the isolated transformer connected in series with one of two coils, has different voltage sag compensating and current limiting characteristics due to the winding direction and the inductance ratio of two coils. The current limiting and the voltage sag compensating characteristics of a SFCL using a transformer winding were analyzed. Through the analysis on the short-circuit tests results considering the winding direction of two coils, the SFCL designed with the additive polarity winding has shown the higher limited fault current than the SFCL designed with the subtractive polarity winding. It could be confirmed that the higher fault current limitation of the SFCL could be contributed to the higher load voltage sag compensation.

The series connection type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) with added third winding, which was magnetically coupled in one iron core, was proposed. The proposed SFCL was expected to be more improved by just adding third winding into the conventional series connection type SFCL with two coils. To analyze the contribution of the third winding for the current limiting and the recovery characteristics of the SFCL, the short-circuit tests for the series connection type SFCL with the added third winding were performed together with the analysis on its electrical equivalent circuit. From the comparative analysis on the amplitude of the limited fault current and the power burden of the high-TC superconducting (HTSC) element comprising this SFCL, the improved current limiting and recovery characteristics of the series connection type SFCL using the third winding could be confirmed.
