The Superconducting Fault Current Limiter is a device placed in electric network to limit the peak current in the event of fault, Waynet et al (1). SFCLs are designed to react to and absorb unanticipated power surges in the utility grid, preventing loss of power to consumers or damage to utility grid equipment, Bitterman (2). In inductive SFCL the high temperature superconducting tubes are used as secondary winding. Primary winding is conventionally made of copper wire. The magnetic field distribution analysis is significant to elaborate proper operation of the limiter. The FEM is irrevocable at designing stage to calculate the electrical parameters of the SFCL in resistive and superconducting state.
