Nowadays, with consecutive development of the power system, not only the scale of the grid is expanded but also many technical problems exist. One of the most important problems is the exceeding short circuit current in the power grid, this value exceeds out of the regulation’s range as well as breaking capacity of the protection devices. In this paper, a fault current limiter (FCL) device is introduced as a solution; it works as a high impedance in short circuit cases and low impedance in normally case. This paper simulates the fault current limiter transformer type in MATLAB/SIMULINK, the effect of FCLT’s parameters to short circuit reduction is given in the results. Application of FCLT in reality network also is presented with markable results of short circuit reduction in Ho Chi Minh Power Corporation‘s distribution system.
