We propose a single de reactor type fault current limiter, This fault curre
nt limiter is for a three-phase power system, employing only one supercondu
cting coil that is connected with the secondary windings of transformers th
rough a diode-bridge. In this composition, a de reactor type fault, current
limiter using a high temperature superconducting coil takes advantage of c
oil inductance and does not require a superconducting coil normal transitio
n. This paper presents the most suitable case of a single de reactor type f
ault current limiter for a 6.6 kV power system and compares it with a three
de reactors type fault current limiter.
