Abstract

The application of superconducting fault current limiters (SCFCLs) in power systems is very attractive because SCFCLs offer superior technical performance in comparison to conventional devices to limit fault currents. Negligible impedance at normal conditions, fast and effective current limitation within the first current rise and repetitive operation with fast and automatic recovery are the main attributes for SCFCLs.
