Abstract

A fault current limiter, including: an inductor, a direct current circuit breaker, a shunt resistor, and a first fixed resistor. The inductor includes wound superconducting wires. The direct current circuit breaker and the inductor are connected in series to form a series branch. The shunt resistor is connected in parallel to the series branch. The first fixed resistor is connected in parallel to the direct current circuit breaker.
