Abstract
High voltage power systems and loads can suffer from extreme peak currents during load fault conditions. Because conventional circuit breakers require several cycles and many milliseconds to open, the large amount of energy deposited into the load during this fault can be destructive to the load as well as disruptive to the power system. A new method of combining a high temperature superconducting fault current limiter in conjunction with a solid-state circuit breaker has been developed to reduce the potential damage of a fault by limiting fault power and energy.Keywords
