We proposed a linear type magnetic flux pump (LTMFP) as a power supply for superconducting magnet system. In order to explain the operating mechanism of pumping action, the pumping sequence based on penetrated position and moving speed of magnetic flux on the superconducting Nb foil should be understood. In this paper, we induced a theoretical equation for pumping current of LTMFP according to the position of normal spot and corresponding equivalent circuit. In addition, current charging tendencies under the intensity of magnetic flux and frequency were described based on the theoretical pumping equation.

Since the surface diffusion processed $Nb_3Sn$ superconducting tape has the advantage of having large overall critical current density. it is used for the construction of open type MRI superconducting magnets. However one of the disadvantages of this tape is that $Nb_3Sn$ compound often exhibited multiple cracking due to its intrinsic brittleness when subjected to mechanical loading such as bending and winding during the fabrication process for superconducting coil. This will eventually cause the severe degradation of critical current density. Therefore it is important to understand the microscopic deformation behavior of this kind of superconducting tape under the mechanical loading.In this study, acoustic emission(AE) was used to clarify microscopic deformation behavior at room temperature for $Nb_3Sn$ superconducting tape which was strengthened and stabilized with copper. For this purpose, special attention was paid to AE characteristics including AE event, energy, and amplitude distribution which were associated with microscopic mechanism of deformation of $Nb_3Sn$ superconducting tape under tensile load.

In this paper, we investigated the fault current limiting characteristics according to the increase of voltage in the separates three-phase flux-lock type high-Tc superconducting fault current limiter using YBCO CC. The separated three-phase flux-lock type SFCL consists of single-phase flux-phase type SFCL in each phase. Superconductor was using the YBCO CC. To analyze the current limiting characteristics of a three-phase flux-lock type SFCL, the short circuit experiments were carded out fault such as the triple line-to-ground fault. The experimental result shows that fault current limiting characteristics was improved on the high voltage level.

We investigated the quench characteristics in integrated three-phase flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL), which consisted of three-phase flux-lock reactor wound on one iron core with the same turn's ratio between coil 1 and coil 2 for each single phase. To study the quench characteristics of the SFCL, the experiments was performed on various fault type such as the single line-to-ground fault, the double line-to-ground fault, the triple line-to-ground fault. From the experimental results, the generated point of element resistances was different on various fault type.

To protect the power systems from fault current, the rated protective equipment should be installed. However growth of power system scale and concentration of loads caused the large fault current in power transmission system and distribution system. And capacities of installed protective equipment have been exceeded the due to increase of fault current. This increase is not temporary phenomenon but will be steadily as long as the industry develops. The power system need a counter measurement for safety, so superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been received attention as an effective solutions to reduce the fault current. For the above reasons various type SFCL is studied recently. In this paper, the operational characteristics and power burden of trigger type SFCL is studied. The trigger type SFCL has been used for real system research in many countries. And another trigger type SFCL (double quench trigger type SFCL) is also studied. For this paper, short circuit test is performed.

This paper presents the analysis of current limiting performance of superconducting fault current limiter(SCFCL) for real substation. The resistive and inductive type SCFCLs are investigated for 154㎸ substation. The current limiting performance of SCFCL is evaluated with respect to the time constant of SCFCL and impedance of SCFCL.

Interruption system with the transformer type superconducting fault current limiter(TSFCL) is proposed in this paper. The interruption system with a TSFCL is a technology that it maximizes the interruption function of a mechanical DC circuit breaker using a transformer and a superconducting fault current limiter. By a TSFCL, the system limits the fault current till the breakable current range in the fault state. Therefore, the fault current could be cut off by a mechanical DC circuit breaker. The Interruption system with a TSFCL were designed using PSCAD/EMTDC. In addition, the Interruption system with a TSFCL was applied to the DC test circuit to analyze characteristics of a current-limiting and a interruption operation. The simulation results showed that the Interruption system with a TSFCL interrupted the fault current in a stable when a fault occurred. Also, The current-limiting rate of the Interruption system with a TSFCL was approximately 69.55%, and the interruption time was less than 8 ms.
