Abstract
Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) have been developed by many research groups. However, there is no standard for current limiting device. Recently, YBCO coated conductor (C.C.) which is named as 2nd-generation wire has been developed rapidly. YBCO C.C. has many advantages for applying to fault current limiting material. In this paper, a bifilar winding type SFCL was manufactured using YBCO C.C. The bifilar coil was wound as pancake type, and the length of C.C. tape used was 8 m. The short-circuit test of the SFCL was performed successfully rated on 30V/80A. The SFCL had a very low impedance in normal operation and limited the fault current effectively when a fault occurred. From the result, it could be confirmed that the bifilar winding type FCL using YBCO C.C. is feasible. Large-scale SFCL using C.C. should be developed in the future.
