Abstract
This article presents a theoretical investigation of a resistive superconducting fault current limiter (R-SFCL) operating in a medium-voltage network. The considered power system presents a high level of fault current as well as a high transient recovery voltage. The simulation result shows that the R-SFCL not only limits the fault current to a desirable value, but also improves transient recovery voltage of circuit breakers by eliminating high-order harmonics generated by the opening of the circuit breaker.
