A few examples of possible locations in networks and feeders
Superconducting fault current limiter

Current limiters can be placed at many points on a conventional electrical network. Here are just a few examples.

In many cases, the limiter makes it possible to significantly increase the short-circuit power S_cc with the following advantages:

• improved voltage quality. Voltage drops (Z_ccI = 3 E²I/S_cc (I: current), see equation (1)) and therefore voltage variations are reduced. Harmonic disturbances or pollution linked to arc furnaces, power converters with semiconductors... are also reduced. These polluting loads generate harmonic currents which are transformed into harmonic voltages when they...
