Short　circuit　currents　show　an　upward　trend　in　Multi-Terminal　High　Voltage　(MTHV)　DC　systems.　DC　resistive　type　Supercon-ducting　Fault　Current　Limiters　(SFCLs)　can　limit　short　circuit　currents　to　a　much　lower　level　to　improve　the　stability　of　MTHV　DC　system.　Superconducting　tapes　used　for　DC　SFCL　will　quench　after　a　short　circuit　current　attack.　Then　temperature　and　voltage　of　the　tapes　will　increase.　The　objective　of　this　paper　is　to　obtain　the　effects　of　short　circuit　currents　on　quench　and　re-covery　properties　of　the　superconducting　tapes　of　DC　resistive　type　SFCLs.　YBCO　tapes　was　chosen　as　investigation　samples.　This　paper　concluded　that　for　higher　short　circuit　currents,　the　temperature　and　the　voltage　of　the　tape　was　higher.　The　highest　temperature　was　379.2　K　for　YBCO　tapes　when　a　short　circuit　current　of　10　kA　applied　for　50　ms.　Recovery　time　of　short　circuit　current　of　10　kA　was　240　ms　longer　than　the　recovery　time　of　the　short　circuit　current　of　500　A.　Quenched　resistance　curves　gotten　by　experiments　and　analysis　were　similar,　which　proved　the　accu-racy　of　the　analysis.　IEEE
