Abstract :
In close cooperation, GEC Alsthom, Alcatel Alsthom Recherche and Electricite De France are investigating the technical feasibility and the economical impact of low T/sub c/ superconducting fault current limiters, intended for the French HV and EHV electrical grids. The program includes the complete design of a 63 kV/1.25 kA/5 kA/spl circ/ version, experienced on current and voltage models. Extensions to the HV prototype demonstration, and to the EHV fault current limiters, are also discussed in this paper.<>
