Lightning impulse voltage distribution over voltage transformer windings — Simulation and measurement

Abstract

This paper presents a fast and precise method for the calculation of internal voltage transients over the voltage instrument transformer windings. Lumped circuit parameters of the transformer winding are calculated using self-developed solvers based on the boundary element method and integral equations approach. A detailed equivalent circuit of the transformer winding is solved in time domain. Test model of the voltage instrument transformer is constructed with a number of measurement points along the windings. Results of the calculation are in a good agreement with the measured voltages.
