The magnetic field application effect on resistance of a high-$T_c$ superconducting (HTSC) element comprising a flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) was investigated. The YBCO thin film, which was etched into a meander line using a lithography, was used as a current limiting element of the flux-lock type SFCL. To increase the magnetic field applied into HTSC element, the capacitor was connected in series with a solenoid-type magnetic field coil installed in the third winding of the flux-lock type SFCL. There was no magnetic field application effect on the resistance of HTSC element despite the application of larger magnetic field into the HTSC element when a fault happened. The resistance of HTSC element, on the contrary, started to decrease at the point of four periods from a fault instant although the amplitude of the applied magnetic field increased.

As one of methods to increase the voltage rating of the flux-lock type SFCL, the fault current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type SFCL with HTSC elements connected in series were analyzed. The initial fault current amplitudes in two SFCLs with the series connection of two HTSC elements and with single HTSC element were the same. In addition, the resistance amplitude of each HTSC element in SFCL with the series connection of two HTSC elements had the similar one in SFCL with single HTSC element. With increase of applying voltage, the unbalance of voltage between two HTSC elements in SFCL with the series connection of two HTSC elements disappeared.

In this paper, we investigated the fault current limiting characteristic of flux-lock type High-Tc superconducting fault current limiter(HTSC-FCL), which is comprised of a flux-lock reactor and an external magnetic field coil covering the HTSC element In this HTSC-FCL, the initial limiting current level can be controlled by adjusting the inductance of the each coil. Furthermore, the fault current limiting characteristics of HTSC-FCL can be improved by applying 'the external magnetic field into the HTSC element We performed the computer simulation by numerical analysis about the flux-lock type HTSC-FCL and compared the results of experiment with simulation ones. We can obtain the same results from both the computer simulation and the experiment except for the time immediately after fault occurs.

We analyzed the fault current limiting characteristics of a flux-lock type $high-T_c$ super­conducting fault current limiter (HTSC-FCL) using series resonance between capacitor for series resonance and magnetic field coil which was installed in coil 3. The capacitor for the series resonance in the flux-lock type HTSC-FCL was inserted in series with the magnetic field coil to apply enough magnetic field into HTSC element, which resulted in higher resistance of HTSC element. However, the impedance of the flux lock type HTSC-FCL has started to decrease since the current of coil 3 exceeded one of coil 2 after a fault accident. The decrease in the impedance of the FCL causes the line current to increase and, if continues, the capacitor for the series resonance to be destructed. To avoid this operation, the flux-lock type HTSC-FCL requires an additional device such as fault current interrupter or control circuit for magnetic field. From the experimental results, we investigated the parameter range where the operation as mentioned above for the designed flux-lock type HTSC-FCL using series resonance occurred.

The operational characteristics of superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using magnetic coupling of coils were investigated. This SFCL consists of a high-Tc superconducting (HTSC) element and two coils with series or parallel connection on the same iron. This SFCL has the merit that the operational current of SFCL can be increased higher than the critical current of the superconducting element by adjusting the inductance ratio between two coils. To confirm its operation, the circuit for the fault simulation was constructed. From the measured voltage and current of the SFCL, it was confirmed that the resistance of HTSC element comprising this SFCL increased more than that of HTSC element's independent operation.

본 논문은 고장발생 초기 고장전류의 크기에 따라 피크전류제한 기능을 갖도록 하나의 철심에 기존 1차 코일과 2차 코일이 병렬로 연결된 초전도 소자 1과 추가적인 철심을 사용하여 3차 권선에 초전도 소자 2가 연결된 자기결합형 초전도한류기를 제안하였다. 이중 철심을 이용하여 코일 1과 코일 2간 병렬로 연결한 자기결합형 초전도한류기가 고장발생시 피크전류를 초전도 소자 1만이 분담하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그 이유는 초기 사고전류의 순간적인 요소가 커서 초전도 소자 1이 ?치되어 작동하였으나, 코일 3에 흐르는 전류가 임계전류를 초과하지 않았고, 이로 인해 초전도 소자 2가 ?치되어 작동하지 않았기 때문이다. 사고 시 피크전류를 순차적인 초전도 소자로 제한하기 위해서는 코일 1이 낮은 자기인덕턴스 값을 갖고 있으면서도 코일 2보다 코일 3이 보다 높은 자기인덕턴스 값을 갖도록 설계해야 할 것이다. 또한, 고장 발생 초기 사고전류의 크기를 결정하는 고장조건 중의 하나인 1차 코일과 2차 코일간의 권선비가 0.25일 때 두 SFCL의 전류제한 및 회복특성에 대한 검증을 선로단락실험을 통해 분석되었다. 이 단락실험의 분석결과, 가극결선인 경우가 감극결선한 경우보다도 전류제한 및 회복특성이 더욱 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we compared the current limiting characteristics of both the hybrid type and the flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiters(SFCLs), which have a magnetic coupling structure between a primary winding and several secondary windings. The limiting impedances of two SFCLs were derived from each equivalent circuit considering the design parameters of SFCL such as the self-inductance of secondary winding and the resistance of $high-T_C$ superconducting(HTSC) element. Through the comparison for the limiting impedances of two SFCLs considering the dependence of the HTSC element's resistance on the applying voltage into the SFCL, the hybrid type SFCL was confirmed to have larger limiting impedance with smaller resistance of HTSC element than the flux-lock type SFCL. It was expected from the analysis that the hybrid type SFCL was more advantageous than the flux-lock type SFCL from the viewpoint of the fault current limiting level.

In this paper, we analyzed the power consumption and the accumulated energy in HTSC (high-TC superconducting elements) according to the resistance of HTSC element and the winding current of transformer type SFCL (superconducting fault current limiter) using double quench. For the analysis, two different inductances of the one secondary winding among two secondary windings comprising the transformer type SFCL were selected and the short-circuit tests were carried out. The consumed power and the accumulated energy in HTSC element connected into the secondary winding with larger inductance were analyzed to be larger compared to the one connected into the secondary winding with lower inductance.

본 논문에서는 두 코일의 직 병렬결합을 이용한 초전도 사고전류제한기의 사고전류제한 특성을 분석하였다. 구조는 병렬 또는 직렬로 연결된 두 코일과 두 코일 중 하나와 직렬 또는 병렬로 연결되는 초전도 소자로 구성된다. 동작원리는 사고전에는 초전도 소자는 초전도 상태에 있어 병렬 또는 직렬로 연결된 두 코일에 의해 발생되는 자속은 서로 상쇄되어 두 코일에 유기되는 전압이 제로를 유지하게 되지만 사고가 발생할 경우 초전도 소자의 저항이 발생되어 두 코일에서 발생되는 자속은 더 이상 상쇄되지 않게 된다. 따라서 두 코일에 전압이 유기되고 이에 따라 사고전류를 제한하게 된다. 단락실험을 통해 두 코일의 직 병렬결합에 따른 사고전류제한 특성을 분석하였으며 분석을 동해 사고전류제한기의 동작전류를 증가시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the magnetization characteristics and the stored energy of magnetically coupled superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL)s using single and double high-Tc superconducting (HTSC) elements were compared. To analyze the magnetization characteristics and the stored energy, the magnetizing current and the flux linkage, which were derived from the electrical equivalent circuit of the SFCL using single and double HTSC elements, were calculated from the voltages and the current measured in the short-circuit tests. Through the comparative analysis on the magnetization characteristics and the stored energy for SFCL using sing and double HTSC elements, the magnetically coupled SFCL using double HTSC elements was shown to be more effective than the SFCL using single HTSC element from the point of view of the magnetic saturation.
