We performed unsymmetrical analysis of a single line-to-ground fault in a three-phase system. The current limiting elements were meander type YBCO stripes coated with Au shunt. When the fault occurred, short circuit currents were effectively limited within 1-2 msec after fault instant. The unsymmetrical rate of fault phase was distributed from 6.4 to 1.4 and most of the fault current flowed in the grounding line due to its direct grounding system.

The CeO$_2$ thin films were deposited on the biaxially textured Ni substrates by MOCVD process. The (200) oriented CeO$_2$ films were formed at the deposition temperature(Td) of 500~52$0^{\circ}C$, the oxygen partial pressure(PO2) of 0.90~3.33 torr and the deposition time(t) of 3~25 min. The surface roughness and gain size rapidly increased at Td $\geq$ 52$0^{\circ}C$ due to the grain growth. The surface roughness also increased as the deposition time increased. The optimized deposition conditions of the CeO$_2$ films for the YBCO coated conductor were Td= 500~51$0^{\circ}C$, PO2= 2.30 torr and t= 10~12 min.

We have fabricated a superconducting YBCO system according to the pyrolysis method and low pressure apparatus. In our experiment, the X-ray diffraction pattern of the non doped YBaCuO layer indicated that the superconductor contained only 90K phase crystal. The critical temperature and critical current density for a thick layer at $650^{\circ}C$ were Tc=90 K and $Jc=6{\times}10^{4}A/cm^2$ at 90K. In low pressure apparatus, the 90 K phase YBaCuO was grown at a lower temperature compared with the normal system. Tc and Jc at $650^{\circ}C$ were Tc = 90 K and $Jc=6{\times}10^{4}A/cm^2$ at 90K.

NdBaCuO thin films were prepared on $SrTiO_{3}$ substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. These as-grown films were classified into 3type. The resistivity of the deposited films are usually lower than of the YBCO film. The Tc (onset) and Tc (R=0) in the optimized thin films are as high as 90 and 80K, respectively. These as-grown films are highly uniform and semi-trans parent and have a room temperature resistivity of $0.3m{\Omega}cm$.

In this paper, based on the research of high temperature YBCO superconductor, using the Yb instead of Y, with the YbBCO superconductor powder which was combined by means of conventional solid reaction, textured directional crystal was prepared by MCP method and the character was analyzed. Mixing the starting elements and calcining at 890$^{\circ}C$, 900$^{\circ}C$, 910$^{\circ}C$, single phase YbBCO, Yb$_2$BaCuO$\sub$5/ and BaCuO$\sub$2/ were certified. And from the powder which was calcined at 900$^{\circ}C$ the, sample which became texture-growth by MCP method was well oriented. The result of DTA measurement, the fusing point of YbBCO superconductor and it\`s critical current was measured to be 979$^{\circ}C$, 87K respectively. The critical current density was obtained at the value of 700A/$\textrm{cm}^2$(77K. 0H) calculated by Bean's Model using the measured hysteresis curve of VSM.

The quench characteristics of flux-lock type high-Tc superconducting fault current limiters(SFCL) was investigated. $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$(YBCO) thin film was used as the current limiting elements of the flux-lock type SFCL. The quench characteristics of current limiting elements consisting of the flux-lock type SFCL was more improved than that of the resistive type SFCL.

Magnetic properties of a field cooled YBaCuO superconductor beneath the toroidal permanent magnet was examined by means of improved magneto-balancing method at 77 K. Magnetic flux measurements of a toroidal magnet revealed a concave shaped field distribution with a single minimum and a null field along the axis of the torus at the point where the field reversed. The observed values of both the suspension position and the force exerted upon the superconductor specimen were in good agreement with those calculated from the magnetization curve of the specimen and the intensity of the magnetic field of the used permanent magnet.

In this work the results of the systematic investigations on the effect of organic addition by using polymer compound as starting materials on the superconducting properties of YBCO electrophoretic deposited films on silver substrate are presented. The characteristics of the films were examined by X-ray diffraction and SEM observation. Our results show that the adhesion and microstructure of these films are sensitive to the nature of polymer compounds and sintering conditions (electrophoretic deposition, drying and heat-treatment procedures). To develop optimum microstructures for samples processed in this manner it is necessary to have an understanding of how these processes affect the microstructure and hence the properties of ceramic superconductors.

Although $High-T_c $superconducting HTS antennas have high efficiency and high gain, narrow bandwidth due to the high Q is the major limitation for application of satellite communication and mobile communication. Defining bandwidth as the frequency range over which standing wave ratio (SWR) is 2:1 or less, HTS antenna bandwidths are typically less than 1 %. Thus considerable effort has been focused on developing HTS antennas for broadband operation. In this work the HTS antenna array, using the bipin antenna which consisted of two triangle-radiation patches, was designed and fabricated using a ${YBa}_2{Cu}_3{O}_7x (YBCO)$ superconducting thin film on a MgO substrate for broadband operation. Also gold antennas with the same dimension as our HTS antennas were fabricated on the MgO substrate for the comparison. Experimental results for both antennas were reported in terms of radiation patterns, return losses, bandwidths and other various characteristics. The center frequency of HTS antennas was 20.28 GHz and the bandwidth obtained was significant 10 %.

A high Tc superconducting with a nominal composition of YBCO wasprpared by the citarte method. The solid precursor produced by the dehydration of the gel at $120^{\circ}C$ for 12h is not in the amorphous state as expected but in a crystalline state. X-ray diffraction peaks of nearly the same angular position as the peaks of high Tc phase were observed in the precursor. After pyrolysis at $400^{\circ}C$ and calcination at $840^{\circ}C$ for 4h, the (001)peak of the high Tc phase was cleary observed. Experimental results suggest that the intermediate phase formed before the formation of the superconducting phase may be the most important factro in determining whether it is easy to form the high Tc phase or not, because the nucleation barriers of the two superconducting phase may be altered by the variation of the crystal structures of those intermediate phase.
