Superconducting fault current limiters (SCFCL) offer an attractive way to limit short-circuit currents in power systems. Analysis into electromagnetic and thermal behaviors of superconductor material is crucial in order to develop a novel design concept of a fault current limiter. A new scheme, whic...
