 note = {We have developed a 6kV-200A class superconducting fault current limiter (SC-FCL). The SC-FCL has eight co-axial coils connected in order to minimize total inductance. In the present paper, taking consideration of the self-magnetic field in the SC-FCL, we discussed the position of quench initiation. We calculated spatial profiles of the strength and the direction of the self-magnetic field in the SC-FCL. As a result, the self-magnetic field is applied to almost sections of the superconducting cable (SC cable) in transverse direction (maximum value : 6042×10＾－4 T/A). The connective section between coils, however, suffers the magnetic field with longitudinal component of 3.34×10＾－4 T/A. In the case of a short sample of the SC cable which was used for the SC-FCL, the quench current levels were measured to decrease at the rate of 40 A per 0.1 T in transverse magnetic field and 100 A per 0.1 T longitudinal one. Taking these results into consideration, we pointed out that the quench may be initiated in the connective section between coils where the self magnetic field is applied in the longitudinal direction.},
