Analysis of Transient Overvoltage in 220 kV Saturated Core HTS FCL.

Saturated Core High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) Fault Current Limiter (FCL) is one kind of limiters that can work effectively on short-circuit current limitation. In this paper, an equivalent circuit model depending on ac coil of HTS FCL is built for voltage distribution analysis under transient overvoltage. The equivalent circuit components, such as the capacitances and inductances, are calculated by using finite element method. The voltage distribution and oscillation analysis of ac coil may benefit to the insulation design of HTS FCL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
