Identification of Magnetizing Inrush and Internal Short-Circuit Fault Current in V/x-Type Traction Transformer

Support Vector Machine for Discrimination Between Fault and Magnetizing Inrush Current in Power Transformer

This study presents a novel technique based on Support Vector Machine (SVM) for the classification of transient phenomena in power transformer. The SVM is a powerful method for statistical classification of data. The input data to this SVM for training comprises fault current and magnetizing inrush current. SVM classifier produces significant accuracy for classification of transient phenomena i...

Different Methods of Differentiating Inrush Current from Internal Fault Current in Transformer

When a transformer is energized the phenomenon of magnetizing inrush current occurs and causes a pseudo tripping signal to the differential relay which leads to the problem of mal operation or false tripping of the relay. In order to avoid this false tripping of the differential relay and for safe operation of the transformer the distinction of inrush current with internal fault current is very...

A New Magnetizing Inrush Restraining Algorithm for Power Transformer Protection

a novel approach for discrimination magnetizing inrush current and internal fault in power transformers based on neural network

one of the major problems that may occur in the differential protection systems of power transformers is mal-operation of the protection relays in sake of internal fault detection, because of similarity between this current and inrush current. this paper presents a novel approach for discriminating inrush current from internal fault in power transformers based on improved gravitational search a...

Mitigation Transformer Inrush Current Using Modified Transient Current Limiter

This study presents a modified transient current limiter (MTCL) for mitigation the inrush current of transformers. The MTCL is based on conventional transient current limiter (TCL), which, its configuration is modified to overcome the TCL drawbacks of operation. The proposed MTCL offers lower power losses and voltage/current THD during normal operation mode. It needs only one limiting reactor i...
