Abstract
The 2Generation (2G) high-temperature superconductivity (HTS) coated conductor has such advantages in the manufacture of current-limiting devices as fast phase transition, high critical current density, small degradation of critical characteristics under mechanical deformation, and lower cost of the manufacture of the superconducting current-limiting element due to its lower material cost compared to that of the Y-Ba-Cu-O (YBCO) thin film and the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BSCCO) wire and bulk. However, in a resistive-type superconducting fault current limiter that was manufactured with a current-limiting device produced with a 2G HTS coated conductor, the dimensions of the current-limiting device will be larger than those of other devices (e.g., a YBCO thin film and a BSCCO bulk) due to the physical characteristics of the 2G HTS coated conductor. Moreover, application of such resistive-type superconducting fault current limiter to an actual power system will produce high cooling expenses. Therefore, in this study, the electric-coupling condition for the reduction of the size of the superconducting current-limiting element was presented, a superconducting current-limiting element was manufactured using a 2G HTS coated conductor with a stainless-steel stabilization layer, and the manufactured superconducting current-limiting element was applied to the electric-coupling condition to evaluate its stability and current-limiting performance under such condition. The electric-coupling condition that was presented in this paper is the series connection of the primary coil (N1) and the secondary coil (N2), and the parallel connection of the secondary coil and the superconductive element.
