Abstract
Transient electromagnetic forces in radial and axial directions induce critical mechanical stress on windings and transformers. In this paper, short-circuit electromagnetic forces that are exerted on transformer windings are investigated. A 3-D transformer model is considered to calculate the transient electromagnetic forces. The magnetic vector potential, magnetic flux density, and electromagnetic forces due to the short-circuit transient currents applied to the power transformer are analyzed by a coupled electromechanical finite-element method. The results obtained are compared with the analytical results and show good agreement. The numerical modeling technique dealt with in this paper is expected to be useful in the design of power transformers.
