Abstract

In this paper, the transient performance of a magnetic core fault current limiter (FCL) saturated by high temperature superconducting (HTS) dc bias winding is investigated by using both 3-D field-circuit coupled simulation and magnetic circuit analysis. A high voltage is induced on the dc HTS winding during the fault current state. The induced voltage is computed and a short circuit coil for the reduction of induced voltage is studied. The numerical computations are verified by the experiment results on an FCL prototype
