Claim 19:
20. A system, comprising:
a first group of flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) devices, each without fault current protection, connected to a power transmission line;
a second group of FACTS devices connected to the power transmission line, each without fault current protection, wherein the second group of FACTS devices is connected in series with the first group of FACTS devices on the power transmission line;
a first fault current protection device connected to the power transmission line to protect the first group of FACTS devices from fault currents, wherein the first fault current protection device is external to the first and second groups of FACTS devices, and is connected in parallel with the first group of FACTS devices; and
a second fault current protection device connected to the power transmission line to protect the second group of FACTS devices from fault currents, wherein the second fault current protection device is external to the first and second groups of FACTS devices, and is connected in parallel with the second group of FACTS devices.
