Abstract
Tests were conducted to determine the electrical and magnetic characteristi cs of a superconductor-shielded core reactor (SSCR), The results show that a closed-core SSCR Is predominantly a resistive device and an open-core SSC R is a hybrid resistive/inductive device. The open-core SSCR appears to dis sipate less energy than the closed-core SSCR, However, the impedance of the open-core SSCR is less than that of the closed-core SSCR, Magnetic and the rmal diffusion are believed to be the mechanisms that facilitate penetratio n of the superconductor tube under Fault conditions.
