Abstract

This chapter introduces the fundamental concepts of ideal and practical fault current limiter (FCLs). The FCLs operate based on resistive, inductive, or combined resistive-inductive circuits. The circuit configuration and derivation of each type are presented through validated equations. To enhance these definitions, relevant IEEE standards and CIGRE reports are included, providing a comprehensive view of FCL characteristics. The chapter concludes with a summary section outlining the key details discussed.
