Abstract

Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) are the most attractive devices for the power network, because limiters can be used to limit the short current in electrical network. This paper presents the design, the numerical model, and the calculated electrical parameters of the new 15-kV class SFCL prototype. The coreless superconducting fault current limiter consists of three windings: a primary and secondary windings made of SF12050 tape and a parallel connected primary copper winding. All windings are inductively coupled and intended to work in liquid nitrogen. The transient magnetic FEM-circuit numerical models of SFCL were used to analyze the current, resistance, and temperature of SFCL in the limitation state.
