Popis: Inductive saturated-core fault current limiter (iSCFCL) plays more important role in today’s power systems. It is considered as a commercial solution for high short circuit current limitation, power system safety and reliability improvement. In this manuscript, a novel improved, compact structure, self-triggered and recovery three-phase (iSCFCL) is proposed, analyzed and numerically simulated in finite elements model (FEM). Principal operation, most adequate parameter design and performance validation under different fault conditions is presented. The model structure is based on using only one magnetic core to minimize the size. The analyses include 3D modeling, electromagnetic field and simple electric circuit simulations carried out in COMSOL Multiphysics software. The simulation results approve the effectiveness of the proposed structure for high short circuit currents limitation, negligible effect during the normal operation and very fast recovery after fault clearance.
