The flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) connects the two parallel windings in parallel with a ferromagnetic core. We suggest that the double quench flux-lock type SFCL should add a third winding. We analyzed characteristics of the fault current and the peak current using the quench of the high-Tc superconducting element. The proposed SFCL's inductances of a primary winding and the third winding were fixed and the amplitude of inductance of the secondary winding was changed. We found that the fault current can be more effectively controlled through the analysis of the equivalent circuit and the short-circuit tests.

In this paper, we investigated the operational characteristics of the fault current limiting in the The flux-lock type high-Tc superconducting fault current limiter. The flux-lock type high-Tc superconducting fault current limiter was consisted of primary and secondary copper coils that flux was locked on iron core and YBCO thin film. The operational characteristic of a flux-lock type SFCL dependent on winding direction of coil 1 and coil 2, and the number of turns of coil 1 and coil 2, inductances of the coils, saturation in iron core, the properties of superconducting element etc. In this cases, we investigated the fault currents limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type SFCL when winding direction of coil 1 and coil 2 was subtractive polarity winding.

In this paper, we investigated the fault current limiting characteristic of flux-lock type High-Tc superconducting fault current limiter(HTSC-FCL), which is comprised of a flux-lock reactor and an external magnetic field coil covering the HTSC element In this HTSC-FCL, the initial limiting current level can be controlled by adjusting the inductance of the each coil. Furthermore, the fault current limiting characteristics of HTSC-FCL can be improved by applying 'the external magnetic field into the HTSC element We performed the computer simulation by numerical analysis about the flux-lock type HTSC-FCL and compared the results of experiment with simulation ones. We can obtain the same results from both the computer simulation and the experiment except for the time immediately after fault occurs.

In this paper, the power burden of High-TC superconducting (HTSC) module comprising the flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) with two triggering currents during the fault period was analyzed. The short-circuit tests for the simulated power system with the SFCL in the different fault positions, which were expected to affect the amplitude of the fault current, were carried out. Through the comparative analysis on the power burden of the HTSC modules, the proposed flux-lock type SFCL was confirmed to be effective to divide into two power burdens according to the amplitude of the fault currents.

The magnetic field generated in the iron core, which is required for the magnetic field to link each coil of the flux-lock type reactor, affects the fault current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type high-Tc superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL). By applying numerical analysis for equivalent circuit of flux-lock type SFCL, the magnetic field induced in the iron core including currents of each coil was investigated. Through the analysis of magnetic field, we have analyzed that the magnetic field linked the 3rd coil, which is wound in the iron core, prevents the saturation of the iron core, but decreases the impedance of the flux-lock type SFCL.

The fault current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using a transformer winding were investigated. The suggested flux-lock type SFCL consists of two parallel connected coils on an iron core and the transformer winding connected in series with one of two coils. In this SFCL, the high-TC superconducting (HTSC) element was connected with the secondary side of the transformer. The short-circuit experimental devices to analyze the fault current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type SFCL using the transformer winding were constructed. Through the short-circuit tests, the flux-lock type SFCL using transformer winding was shown to perform more effective fault current limiting operation compared to the previous flux-lock type SFCL without the transformer winding from the viewpoint of the quench occurrence and the recovery time of the HTSC element.

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 current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type high-Tc superconcting fault current limiter(HTSC-FCL) according to fault angles. The Flux-lock type HTSC-FCL consists of primary and the secondary copper coils that are wound in parallel each other through the iron core and YBCO thin flim. In this paper, the current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type HTSC-FCL according to fault angles in case of the subtractive and additive polarity windings were compared and analyzed. From the results, the flux-lock type HTSC-FCL could limit more quickly fault current as the fault angles increased irrespective of the fault angles. On the other hand, the initial power burden of HTSC element after a fault happened increased as the fault angles increased. In addition, it was confirmed that the resistance of flux-lock type HTSC-FCL in case of subtractive polarity winding was more increased than that of additive polarity winding and that the peak current of fault current in case of subtractive polarity winding was larger than that of the additive polarity winding case.

In this work, the current limiting and recovery characteristics of a flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) with series connection of two coils were effectively improved by adding a third winding into the conventional flux-lock type SFCL with series connection of two coils. To confirm the contribution of the third winding to the current limiting and recovery characteristics of this type of the SFCL, short-circuit testing was carried out with consideration of the third winding, and the effect of the third winding on the current limiting and recovery characteristics was examined by comparative analysis of the amplitude of the limited fault current and the power burden of the high-TC superconducting (HTSC) element comprising the SFCL. Through the analysis of both the limiting impedance and the operational current as the main design parameter of the SFCL, the improved current limiting and recovery characteristics of the flux-lock type SFCL using the third winding could be verified.
