The impact of fault current limiter in power system performance

Continues growth of electrical energy demand is resulting in a corresponding increase in the short circuit in power system. Several solutions have been implemented, including the use of Fault Current Limiter (FCL), in order to reduce circuit breakers rated capacity and to limit the electromagneti...
