The study of ferroresonance effects in electric power equipment
Keywords:
Ferroresonsce; over-voltage; transformer; power systemAbstract
Ferroresonance causes overvoltages and overcurrents which may jeopardize the safety of power system equipment. In this paper,
a comprehensive study of the phenomenon was made using a 3 phase,core type,100kva,33/0.415kv Dy11 power transformer and
Matlab simulations. Atani injection substation, in Onitsha, was taken as a model and parameters were taken from there for the
studies. The results show that ferroresonce can cause dangerous over voltages and overcurrents in core type transformers.
Methods of mitigating ` ferroresonance effects in power system equipment are also suggested.
