Transformer Windings’ Parameters Calculation and Lightning Impulse Voltage Distribution Simulation

Abstract

This paper presents a numerical method for calculating the resistance, inductance, and capacitance matrices of transformer windings. Importance of their precise calculation is shown in the simulation of voltage distribution over the windings for a lightning-impulse test. The results obtained in frequency domain analysis are in good agreement with the measurement data. All the parameters are calculated using the self-developed solvers, the theory and the novelty of which are described in this paper. The presented approach allows fast and accurate high-frequency modeling of transformer windings.
