Abstract

The application of a superconductor to a fault current limiter in a power system has been researched. The authors developed a magnetic shielding type superconducting fault current limiter using a Bi2212 thick film cylinder. This limiter consists of a primary winding on a superconducting cylinder for generating an AC magnetic field, the cylinder for shielding the field, an iron core for magnetic members and a control ring for controlling fault currents. When a fault occurs, the superconductive cylinder quenches and a magnetic circuit is formed inside the cylinder. As a result, the limiter has a high impedance to limit the fault current. The present study shows the limiting and recovery characteristics of the fault current limiter.<>
