Abstract
A Hybrid fault current limiter (FCL) proposed by our group previously is composed of a superconducting coil, a fast switch and a bypass reactor. The superconducting coil wound with two kinds of HTS wire has zero impedance when normal current flows in the coil. However, different quench characteristics of the HTS wire generate magnetic flux in the coil when fault current flows in the coil. As a result, the fast switch was opened by the repulsive force applied to the aluminum plate above the coil. In previous studies, our group verified operating characteristics and feasibility of the fast switch. In this paper, comparison of pancake type and solenoid type non-inductive coil wound with two kinds of the HTS wire was performed by using short-circuit test and finite element method. From these results, short-circuit characteristic of a coil can be acquired and magnitude of the repulsive force and magnetic field can be analysed.
