Resistive LimitationFCL
Breaker
Load
+ compact+ intrinsically safe+ strong limitation+ independent of short circuit level– current leads to low temperature
Frankfurt (Germany), 6-9 June 2011
Achim Hobl – Germany – RIF Session 1 – 0352 – p 5
Inductive Limitation
+ no quench of the superconductor+ can be without interruption– large volume and weight– low level of limitation– relatively high impedance

Advantages of the FCL system Passive limiting characteristics of the superconductor Inherently safe and free from wear and maintenance The power flow is not interrupted completely Less mechanical and thermal stress
Higher network reliability Considerable cost savings Low impedance networks Voltage stability and reduction of harmonics Load levelling of busbars / transformers
