Superconducting Winding for Inductive Type SFCL Made of HTS Tape With Increased Resistivity

Currently produced and available HTS tapes with increased resistivity, like 2nd generation YBCO 344S tape made by American Superconductors, have enough parameters, e.g., resistivity, critical current density, to build inductive type current limiters to limit faults in medium-voltage power grid. The paper describes the assumption for 6,9 kV/1.15 kA superconducting fault current limiter with superconducting secondary winding made of high resistivity HTS tape as well as the results of numerical analysis.
