In this paper a modified fault current limiter has been designed for limiting the short circuit current under transient condition. In order the provide security for the distribution network a properly designed fault current limiter is needed. In the present approach a resistor is being connected in series with capacitor and this structure is later connected with inductor which maintains the fault current at prefault level. With such type of topology the voltage at point of common coupling does not experience any sag during the fault occurrence. For limiting the fault current and operate the system under particular voltage levels many topologies are implemented, some of them used reactors, superconducting fault current limiter, solid state FCl, resonance type are usually implemented. The main advantage of this type of fault current limiter is that it doesn't require any superconducting inductor because of its high cost. The performance of this resonance fault current limiter is briefly discussed and simulations are done in MATLAB/SIMULINK.
