SSFCL limits the short-circuit fault current by adding equivalent impedance in series in line which is bound to have a negative impact on distance protection. Taking the multi-function solid state fault current limiter (MSSFCL) for an example, the impact of solid state fault current on 0° wiring mode is analyzed. And a new wiring mode for eliminating the impact of limiting impedance equivalent is proposed. The operating characteristics of the relay of distance protection under the two wiring modes are analyzed by PSCAD/EMTDC when different inter-phase short-circuit faults happen at different locations. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed new wiring mode can effectively eliminate the impact of limiting reactance on measured impedance and ensure the reliability of the relay action.
