Testing of High Current Transformer by Non-uniform Equivalent Magnetomotive Force Method

چکیده
Abstrac t In the testing of high current transformer performance under interference from external current, it is very difficult to reproduce the high current in adjacent bus-bar or eccentric primary bus-bar. To overcome the testing difficulty, this manuscript presents an effective and simple method named as Non-uniform Equivalent Magnetomotive Force (NEMMF) Method, which uses a single non-uniformly distributed testing winding to reproduce the magnetic field from adjacent and concentric primary bus-bars simultaneously. The principle of the NEMMF method is demonstrated and proved by magnetic circuit method, and some key formulas determining the parameters of testing winding have been derived. The NEMMF method is then verified by numerical simulation using Finite Element Method (FEM).

Discrimination of Inrush from Fault Currents in Power Transformers Based on Equivalent Instantaneous Inductance Technique Coupled with Finite Element Method
The phenomenon of magnetizing inrush is a transient condition, which occurs primarily when a transformer is energized. The magnitude of inrush current may be as high as ten times or more times of transformer rated current that causes malfunction of protection system. So, for safe running of a transformer, it is necessary to distinguish inrush current from fault currents. In this paper, an equiv...
متن کاملCharacterization of Power Transformer Electromagnetic Forces Affected by Winding Faults
Electromagnetic forces in power transformer windings are produced by interaction between the leakage fluxes and current passing them. Since the leakage flux distribution along the windings height is in two axial and radial directions, so the electromagnetic forces have two components, radial and axial. There is a risk that a large electromagnetic force due to the short circuit or inrush current...
متن کاملDesign of a Transverse Flux Linear Motor
This paper presents design procedures of a transverse flux linear motor (TFLM). The minimum and maximum flux linkage was determined by the simplified equivalent magnetic circuit and estimated average magnetic flux density at the air gap region by considering the shape of applied magnetomotive force (MMF). With this information, the number of turns of each phase winding was calculated based on t...

Magnetomotive force (mmf) Magnetomotive force is the flux producing ability of an electric current in a magnetic circuit. [It is something similar to electromotive force in an electric circuit]. [Unit of magnetomotive force is ampere (A)] Note: Although some books use the term ampere-turns, it is strictly not correct as turns is not a dimension] mmf I = Σ I Consider a coil having N turns as sho...
متن کاملPower Auto-transformer Mechanical Faults Diagnosis Using Finite Element based FRA
Frequency response analysis (FRA) is a sensitive method established for testing the mechanical integrity of transformers. However, interpretation of FRA signature still needs expert opinions and there is no FRA interpretation code generally accepted. Various mechanical faults with different extents on power transformers are required to aid FRA interpretation. To address this challenge, in...
