Abstract
This paper presents description of configuration and operation principle of a solid-state bridge-type SSFCL with DC and AC reactors. In this configuration the short-circuit limitation takes effect immediately after the fault by DC and AC reactor. The DC reactor is separated from the fault circuit after a half cycle period leaving only AC reactor for steady-state current limitation. This SSFCL is planned for used in microgrid for reliability enhancement and improve power quality at the point of common coupling. The laboratory-scale single phase model of a SSFCL is built for evaluation and validation. The experimental results are compared with the simulation result for confirmation.
