Abstract
This research paper represents the estimation and reduction of eddy current loss in a Magnetic Fault Current Limiter (MFCL). The nonlinear model of the device is established using electromagnetic coupled circuit supported by Finite Element Model. The current limiting performance of the MFCL is investigated by simulation study as well as laboratory testing. It is further observed that a significant amount of eddy current loss takes place inside the core and permanent magnet of the device. Different methods (shorting ring, lamination of permanent magnet and variation of magnet length) are proposed to reduce the eddy current. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are discussed. Some design modifications are also proposed to minimize the temperature rise caused by the eddy current.
