Controllable resistive type fault current limiter (CR-FCL) with frequency and pulse duty-cycle
International Journal of Electrical Power and Energy Systems, 2014 In this paper a controllable resistive type fault current limiter (CR-FCL) is introduced. The CR-FCL inserts a pre-specified value of resistance based on a pre-defined function, by using a simple switching method, in series with the fault current path. When a fault occurs, a self turn off switch starts switching with a pre-specified frequency and duty ...

Fault Current Limiter Dynamic Voltage Restorer (FCL-DVR) With Reduced Number of Components [PDF]
IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Industrial Electronics, 2021 In this paper, a new dual function fault current limiter-dynamic voltage restorer (FCL-DVR) topology is proposed. The proposed structure, in addition to performing routine FCL tasks, can be used to improve the voltage quality of point of common coupling (PCC).

TEION KOGAKU (Journal of Cryogenics and Superconductivity Society of Japan), 2006 We recently proposed a new design for a high-temperature superconducting thin-film fault-current limiter (FCL), which uses high-resistivity Au-Ag alloy shunt layers instead of the pure gold (or silver) shunt layers conventionally used. Due to the much larger resistance of the Au-Ag alloy layers, the FCL elements withstood very high electric fields ...
