Abstract :
Various Fault Current Limiter technologies are under development, all aimed at limiting fault current to a value within the sub-station plant capacity. A fully tested pre-saturated core fault current limiter (PSFCL), currently in live operation in a UK substation, is presented. The governing technology is based on conventional materials and manufacturing practice used in transformer industry, thereby avoiding the technical risks of High Temperature Superconducting conductor and cryogenics used in competing technologies.
