Abstract

Saturated iron core superconducting fault current limiter (SIC-SFCL) is a promising fault current limiting device for high or extra-high voltage power grids. It has low impedance in normal power transmission and turns high impedance when a short-circuit takes place. The dc bias system of a saturated iron core superconducting fault current limiter plays a key role in realizing these features. Our 35 kV/90 MVA SIC-SFCL has been running live-grid since January 2008 at Puji substation in Yunnan, China. In this paper, the working principle of the dc bias system will be introduced and results of artificially imposed short-circuit tests will be provided, which verifies the validity of this system.
