Abstract
Dramatic growth of today's utility systems is causing fault currents to exceed circuit breaker capabilities at existing major stations. Moreover, mathematical projections indicate that this trend will continue at an accelerated rate. Development of a device to limit the instantaneous magnitude of the fault currents to predetermined levels is actively being pursued. This paper discusses the need and application of such a current limiting device.Keywords
