The resistivetype superconducting fault current limiter (R-SFCL) is simple in structure, near zero impedance at normal state and can be quickly triggered by the fault current. Thus, it is a possible solution to limit the fault current in the power grid. In this paper, we report the fabrication and test for an R-SFCL module The R-SFCL module consists of seven bifilar coils connected in parallel, which were wound with two parallel 2G tapes. A 5mm spacer was co-wound between adjacent turns to act as the highvoltage insulation. In the tests, we test the current distribution among the bifilar coils, and then simulated short-circuit tests were conducted on the module to obtain its performance under fault current surge.
