a simple method is described for analysis of transients in power network. the method is developed for analysis of transformer and generator winding resonances due to their interaction with transmission lines caused by switching surges. the method is already used for calculation of overvoltages which had resulted in damages in the transformer winding of a hydro power plant. nonlinearity in the i...

For flyback coverters, the transformer is the most important factor that determines the performance such as the efficiency, output regulation and EMI. Contrary to the normal transformer, the flyback transformer is inherently an inductor that provides energy storage, coupling and isolation for the flyback converter. In the general transformer, the current flows in both the primary and secondary ...

The delta primary transposed zigzag secondary (DTz) transformer has been designed and used to reduce the bad impacts of the harmonic in the distribution power system. The DTz transformer is constructed with delta connection in primary winding and the three transposed windings at the different core legs of secondary winding. The harmonic reduction method of the DTz transformer applies two basic ...

Transient overvoltages appearing at line terminal of power transformer HV windings can cause failure of winding insulation. The failure can be from winding to ground or between turns or sections of winding. In most of the cases, failure from winding to ground can be detected by changes in the wave shape of surge voltage appearing at line terminal. However, detection of insulation failure betwee...

To date, programs available for the simulation of electromagnetic transients in power components and networks do not include transformer winding models able to simulate an impulse test response. This is an important omission, since the standard impulse test defines for most cases the highest dielectric stress that a power transformer will suffer once installed. In this work, two transformer win...

Airport ground lighting (AGL) systems provide visual reference to aircrafts during airport operations. In AGL systems, constant current regulators feed a beacon circuit supplied through isolation transformers. Component modeling is necessary to simulate AGL systems, and thus characterize and predict their behavior. This paper presents an isolation transformer model including transformer core sa...

Transformer tank vibration has been used for the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of power transformers, as well as for the evaluation of radiated sound power from such power transformers. In both applications, seeking a correlation between transformer tank vibration and the vibration of the transformer windings and core becomes a challenge for fault identification and noise control at ...

Partial discharges (PD) are recognized as the main cause of the inner insulation deterioration process in power transformers. Therefore, the optimum inner insulation design is one of the challenges a transformer designer is faced with. Transformer strength, especially during transient conditions, is a criterion for transformer insulation designers. This challenge has made designers initiate and...

Power transformers are among the most important and expensive equipments in the electric power systems. Consequently the transformer protection is an essential part of the system protection. This paper presents a new method for locating transformer winding faults such as turn-to-turn, turn-to-core, turn-totransformer body, turn-to-earth, and high voltage winding to low voltage winding. In this ...
