Abstract Air-gap was introduced to suppress the saturation of the iron core comprising the flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) with parallel connection of two coils. However, the air-gap makes the impedance of this SFCL decreased and can result in unusefulness of the SFCL. To analyze the current limiting characteristics of the SFCL with the air-gap, the experimental circuit for short-circuit test was constructed. Through the comparison with the current limiting characteristics of the SFCL without air-gap, the merit and the demerit of the flux-lock type SFCL with the air-gap were discussed.
