Fault resistance is a critical component of electric power systems operation due to its stochastic nature. If not considered, this parameter may interfere in fault analysis studies. This paper presents an iterative fault ...

The influence of the soil resistivity and the fault resistance is considered in this paper where a comparison of a well defined impedance based method for locating faults is presented. Tests were performed in a real power ...

In this paper, an extended impedance-based fault-location formulation for generalized distribution systems is presented. The majority of distribution feeders are characterized by having several laterals, nonsymmetrical ...

In this paper, a 220-V resistive superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) prototype is built and tested under different prospective fault currents, which vary from 0.8 to 7.4 kA. A 2D superconductor model is integrated ...

The resistive-type superconducting fault current limiters (RSFCL) prototypes using YBCO-coated conductors have shown current limitation for medium voltage class applications for acting time up to 80 ms. By connecting an ...

Electrical and thermal characteristics of Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (YBCO) coated conductors (CCs) with different architectures, with and without stabilizer layers, in resistive fault current limiters (RSFCLs) have been ...

A fault current limiter (FCL) based on an arrangement of parallel connected high temperature superconducting tapes constituting a limiter element was designed and tested in 220 V line for a fault current peak between 1 kA ...
