Abstract :
A resonance-type superconducting fault current limiter (FCL) using Bi-2223 superconducting coils was developed and tested in order to demonstrate its actual operation. Over-current tests of the FCL were carried out for 50 Hz steady-state current of up to 120 A with relevant combinations of a superconducting reactor, an arrester, a capacitance and a copper reactor. The test results showed that the currents during faults were controlled within low levels. It was also demonstrated that the FCL could promptly recover to the steady state after the faults were cleared
