Abstract
Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) have been progressing due to the development of superconducting technology. The resistor type SFCL is one of the promising current limiting devices in power system for its effective operation. For proper application and operation of a SFCL, the prior investigation of fundamental characteristics and its effects to the distribution systems are needed. The most important current limiting behavior of a SFCL is dominated by quenching and recovery characteristics. In this paper, the resistive type SFCL was developed by using EMTP/ATPDraw and MODELS language. The operating characteristics and current limiting behaviors of the SFCL in distribution systems have been simulated and investigated.
