The latest superconducting short current limiters - review of selected solutions

In the article after the introduction, containing the idea and principle of operation of the SFCL, selected prototypes and scientific projects (Korean and Russian) of superconducting short-circuit current limiters were described due to the dynamic development of the latest technologies and 2G HTS tapes used to build superconducting short-circuit current limiters. The article presents the construction of selected superconducting short-circuit current limiters (Korean) - SFCL 500V / 50A, and the Russian superconducting current limiter 220kV / 50kA, also the R-SFCL 10kV / 1.8kA superconducting current limiter is described. The article contains information on a SFCL with electric drive.
