Abstract

we analyzed the electromagnetic behavior of a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) under the quench state using FEM. The analysis model used in this work is 5.5 KVA meander-line type SFCLs. Meshes of 3,650 triangular elements were used in the analysis of this SFCL. Analysis results showed that the distribution of current density was concentrated to inner curved line in meander-line type-SFCL and the maximum current density was 14.61 $A/m^2$ and also the maximum Joule heat was 2,030 $W/m^2$ in this region. We think that the new and the modified structure must be considered for an uniform distribution of the electromagnetic field.
