Abstract :
Nexans SuperConductors has designed, built, tested and installed a number of such SFCL systems in different areas and cases of operation with various requirements and specifications from DNOs or power generation industry. The designs as well as the test and operation results are presented. Prospective short-circuit currents in the order of 50 kA have been limited to below 10 kA according to the design of the limiter. The limiters have shown reliable operation during field tests with durations of about one year each.
