Abstract :
The author makes five comments on the paper by A.Y. Wu and Y. Yin (see ibid., vol.34, p.236-42, 1998). The author points out that there are no fault current limiters available for applications above 38 kV, discusses two sensing modes for current limiters, zero current crossings for fault currents, coordination between the current limiter and the phase overcurrent relays, and briefly mentions reactor bypass schemes. The original authors reply to the comments.
