Investigation of shunt resistor's connection for a DC Resistive SFCL

NIST Measurement Service for DC Standard Resistors

At the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the U.S. representation of the ohm is based on the quantum Hall effect, and it is maintained and disseminated at various resistance levels by working reference groups of standards. This document describes the measurement systems and procedures used to calibrate standard resistors and current shunts of nominal decade values in the res...

Hybrid Series & Shunt Active DC Line Conditioner

In this paper a hybrid active DC line conditioner for fluctuations and ripples reduction in voltage and current of DC power systems is proposed. Malfunctions in operation of equipments and systems which are supplied by low quality distribution power systems are one of the main effects of DC voltage ripple. In the proposed configuration a hybrid system including series and shunt active line ...

Controlling hysteresis in superconducting constrictions with a resistive shunt

We demonstrate control of the thermal hysteresis in superconducting constrictions by adding a resistive shunt. In order to prevent thermal relaxation oscillations, the shunt resistor is placed in close vicinity of the constriction, making the inductive current-switching time smaller than the thermal equilibration time. We investigate the current-voltage characteristics of the same constriction ...

Comparison between inductive and resistive SFCL in terms of current limitation and power system transient stability

In this paper, authors present a comparative study of inductive and resistive superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) from current limitation and power system transient stability point of view. Different types of SFCL can be used to decrease the amplitude of fault current in a power system. The two most used are resistive type (rSFCL) and inductive type (iSFCL). However, no studies have b...
