Abstract :
This paper presents the design and performance test of a 10 kV, 200 A resistive type superconducting fault current limiter prototype. This is the continued study of the test towards an individual current limiting module, which was done and published in August 2011. The construction of the whole prototype including the cryostat has finished. A series of tests including short circuit test, recovery test, auto-reclosure test, and LN2 boiling test have been performed and the results are presented in this paper. This single phase superconducting fault current limiter is made from 15 current limiting modules. Several 1-m long YBCO coated conductors prepared by Shanghai Jiaotong University are used to build the current limiting module. Each module has 2 tapes connected in parallel to carry 200 A rated current (Ic of each tape is about 150 A) and 6 tapes connected in series to withstand 700 ~ 800 V voltage drop.
