1) Reduction of the operation cost
By a factor 3 for a 15 kA for a 2.5 km cable
2) Reduction of installation cost and permitting by the small cable
section
3) No heat generated on the cable during operation
No effect on vegetation and surroundings
4) No Electro-magnetic emission

AC fault current limiters
Example of 25 kV AC SFCL for traction grid
1. Instantaneous current reduction
from tens of kA to only few kA - Reaction in 1-2 milliseconds
2. Automatic protection
- Restart when cold again
3. No specific maintenance after a
fault
4. Low operational cost
5. Can be used also in DC

Conclusions
Superconducting devices simplify electrification in ultra
dense areas and offer a reduced environmental impact
1. Superconducting cable offers
• A reduction of cable size, operating losses and rights of way
• Reduction of raw materials (copper e.g.)
• No heat generated to the ground and no EMC emissions
2. Fault Currents Limiter gives new perspectives for
safer future sub-stations by the reduction of short
circuit currents
