The superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) plays a role in compensating the voltage sag of the sound feeder adjacent to the fault feeder as well as the fault current limiting operation of the fault feeder. Especially, the SFCL using magnetic coupling of two coils with parallel connection has different voltage sag compensating and current limiting characteristics due to the winding direction and the inductance ratio of two coils. In this paper, the current limiting and the voltage sag compensating characteristics of a SFCL using magnetic coupling of parallel connected two coils were analyzed. Through the analysis on the experimental results considering the winding direction of two coils, the SFCL designed with the additive polarity winding was shown to have the higher limited fault current than the SFCL designed with the subtractive polarity winding. In addition, it could be confirmed that the higher fault current limitation of the SFCL could be contributed to the higher load voltage sag compensation.
