Abstract :This paper summarizes the work done to show finite element modeling results on a high temperature superconductor fault current limiter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FCL);. The paper also gives the small mock-up design of the matrix FCL and its finite element model insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FEM);. It also discusses the limitations of the FEM and explains how the results from the FEM compare with the experimental data derived for the configuration. A 3-dimensional FEM has been used because of the structure of the real geometry, which does not show any plane or axisymmetric features.Keywords : Finite element method, high temperature superconductor, resistive limited fault current limiter, transient analysis
