In this paper, the characteristics of the shielded inductive superconducting fault current limiter(FCL) were simulated and analyzed. After determining parameters fo design for superconducting tube, iron core and primary coil, simple power system composed of shielded inductive FCL was simulated by the numerical analysis. The currents flowing under the fault condition could be limited below 50 A successfully. It was suggested that as the important factors of operational characteristics, the turns of primary coil and size of iron core play a major role for whether the shielded inductive SCFCL operated as inductive type or resistive type FCL.
