Abstract :
The fault-current limiters based on high temperature superconductors offer a solution for controlling fault-current levels on utility distribution and transmission networks. These fault current limiters, unlike reactors or high-impedance transformers, will limit fault currents without adding impedance to the circuit during normal operation. Development of superconducting fault-current limiters is pursued by several utilities.
