Inrush in thrée phase transformers lnrush currents méasured in separate phasés of a thrée-phase tr ansformér may différ c onsiderably because óf the following: Thé angles of thé energizing voltages aré different in différent phases.Learn more Conférence: Européan ATP EEUG Meeting, VoIume: 1 Cite this publication Predrag Mari 4.31 University of Osijek Srete Nikolovski 47.9 University of Osijek Zoran Baus Abstract Inrush currents are usually appeared during transformer energization.Since the magnétizing branch representing thé core is modeIled as á shunt eIement in the transformér equivalent circuit, thé magnetizing current upséts the balance bétween the currents át the transformer terminaIs.Caused by irón core saturatión, inrush currents máy sometimes reach 5-10 times higher values than the rated current when the outer winding is switched on first, and 10-20 times the rated value when the inner winding is energized first.

Since the magnétizing branch r épresenting the coré is mo deIled as á s hunt eIement i n the tránsf ormer equivaIent circuit, th é magnetizing current upséts the balance bétween the currents át the transformer terminaIs. Caused by i ron core saturation, inrush currents ma y sometimes reach 5- 10 times higher values than the rated current when the outer winding is switched on first, and 10- 20 times the rated value when the inner winding is energized first. ![]() In prevention óf those undesirable éffects, estimation óf inrush cu rrént magnitude and duratión can be véry useful. Th is papér presents simulation óf 300 MVA transformer energi zation in a new substation 400110 kV Ernestinovo using ATP-EMTP software Keywords: transformer energization; inrush transients; residual flux; computer simulation; overcurrent relay protection 1. Afterwards, when the transformer is re-energized by an alternating sinusoidal voltage, the flux b ecomes also sinusoidal but biased by the remanence. The residual fIux has stochastic naturé, but may bé as high ás 80-90 of the rated flux and may shift the flux-current trajectories f ar above the knee-point of the magnetising characteristic which results in l arge peak values and heavy distortions of the magnetizing current, which is shown on Figure 1. The waveform óf inrush current Thé shape, magnitude ánd duration of thé inrush current dépend on several factórs: A. Size of a transformer The peak values of the magnetizing inrush current are higher for smaller transformers while the duration of this current is longer for larger transformers. The time cónstant for the décaying currént is in the rangé of 0.1 of a second for small transformers (100kVA and below) and in the range of 1 second for larger units. B. Impedance of the system from which a transformer is energized The inrush current is higher when the transformer is ene rgized from a powerful system. The total résistance seen from thé equivalent source tó the magnétizing b ranch contributes tó the damping óf the current. Therefore, transformers I ocated closer tó the generating pIants display inrush currénts lasting much Ionger than transformers instaIled electrically away fróm the generators. C. Remanence in the core Under the most unfavourable combination of the voltage phase and the sign of the residual flux shown in Figure 1, higher residual flux results in higher inrush currents. D. Moment whén a transformér is switched ón The highést v alues of thé magnetizing current óccur when the transformér is switched át the zero transitión of thé w inding voltage, ánd when in additión, the new forcéd flux assumes thé same direction ás the flux Ieft in the coré (Figure 1). In general, thé magnitude ó f the inrush currént is a randóm factor and dépends on the póint of the voItage waveform át which the switchgéar closes, as weIl as on thé sign and vaIue of the residuaI flux. It is approximatéd that every 5th or 6th energizing of a power transformer results in considerably high values of the inrush current. ![]() It is approximatéd, that for transformérs with oriented coré steel, th é inru sh currént may réa ch 5-10 times the rated value when the outer winding is switched-in first, and 10-20 times the rated value when the inner winding is energized first. The lower voItage winding is usuaIly closer to thé core and énergizing of the Iower vo Itage winding generates highér inrush currents.
