Abstract

A topology-based and duality-derived three-phase, three-winding, core-type transformer model is presented. The model treats the leakage inductances and the coupling effects of the core in a straightforward and integrated way. The long-established positive- and zero-sequence star equivalent circuits of a three-phase three-winding transformer are derived from the original equivalent magnetic circuit of the transformer by applying duality. Formulations for determining the values of the leakage inductances and the core loss resistances from transformer open- and short-circuit test data are presented. A supporting routine is written to generate the /spl lambda/-i curves for each segment of the core and the other input data for EMTP. Since the duality-derived model consists of only RLC elements, no device-specific code to EMTP time-step code is needed. Winding capacitances are lumped to the terminals. The model is suitable for simulation of power system low-frequency transients such as inrush currents and ferroresonance, short circuits, and abnormalities including transformer winding faults.
