Influence of Superconductor Fault Current Limiter on Transformers Lifetime

In this article the impact of the superconducting current limiter and reducing the incidence of stress single phase short circuit has been analyzed with this method and conventional method of current limiting resistance has been compared. For this purpose a saturated core high temperature superconducting current limiter model considered and its effects on network performance in different modes has been studied. PSCAD software for simulating the network is used.
