Patent GB-2487574-A (GB)
Title: Fault Current Limiter
Inventor: BUEHRER CARSTEN
IPC: H02H9/02
Filed: 2011-01-28
Abstract: A fault current limiter has a ferromagnetic core 1 which in at least one region has an alternating current (AC) coil winding 4.1 and another region a direct current (DC) coil winding 3 for magnetic saturation of the core 1 in the normal condition. To compensate for the effects of magnetic leakage flux, to further reduce inductive reactance, the cross-sectional area of the region with the AC coil winding 4.1 is reduced in relation to the cross-sectional area of the region carrying the DC coil winding 2 so that the magnetic flux density in the AC coil winding region 4.1 in the normal operating condition reaches the value required for magnetic saturation. The DC coil can be superconducting and have an axis that is mutually orthogonal to that of the AC coil. The AC coil region can comprise a ferromagnetic material whose saturation field strength is less than that of the DC coil region and decrease in area as the distance from the DC coil winding increases. The DC coil core region can have an air gap. The core can comprise two transverse limbs 1.3,1.4 and longitudinal limbs 1.1,12 which the AC coils jointly surround. For a three-phase network the core can either have three mutually separate and parallel AC windings, having numbers of turns that increase with the distance from the DC coil, or include three closed yokes (fig 2 21,22,23) which adjoin, the DC coil surrounding the joint yokes.
