  • Abstract
    Dramatic growth of today´s utility systems is causing fault currents to exceed circuit breaker capabilities at existing major stations. Moreover, mathematical projections indicate that this trend will continue at an accelerated rate. Development of a device to limit the instantaneous magnitude of the fault currents to predetermined levels is actively being pursued. This paper discusses the need and application of such a current limiting device.
