Published by Michał MAJKA, Janusz KOZAK, Electrotechnical Institute Abstract. The superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is a device allowing for a more effective use of the existing power network infrastructure. The limitation of short-circuit currents by the SFCL to safe levels will result in the network elements being susceptible to smaller electrodynamic and thermal overloads.Continue reading “The Coreless Superconducting Fault Current Limiter 15 kV 140 A”

What is Short Circuit Analysis, and Why is it Done?
Published by Carelabs (Carelabz), Website: carelabz.com A Short circuit analysis is used to determine the magnitude of short circuit current, the system is capable of producing, and compares that magnitude with the interrupting rating of the overcurrent protective devices (OCPD). Since the interrupting ratings are based by the standards, the methods used in conducting a short circuitContinue reading “What is Short Circuit Analysis, and Why is it Done?”
