Abstract

The main propose of this paper is to protect medium voltage smart grid applications from damages of the destructive fault current based on resonant type fault current limiter. Because of the series connection of a capacitor and a reactor, the Series Resonance Fault Current Limiter (SRFCL) is invisible during normal operation and shows negligible impedance in the line. During the fault, a control circuit connects a rectifier bridge to the series reactor and induces a DC voltage on it. In this instant, the series reactor is short circuited, and the series capacitor remains in the line. Thus, the impedance of the series capacitor reduces the amplitude of the fault current.
