Discrimination of Inrush from Fault Currents in Power Transformers Based on Equivalent Instantaneous Inductance Technique Coupled with Finite Element Method

نویسندگان

چکیده مقاله:

The phenomenon of magnetizing inrush is a transient condition, which occurs primarily when a transformer is energized. The magnitude of inrush current may be as high as ten times or more times of transformer rated current that causes malfunction of protection system. So, for safe running of a transformer, it is necessary to distinguish inrush current from fault currents. In this paper, an equivalent instantaneous inductance (EII) technique is used to discriminate inrush current from fault currents. For this purpose, a three-phase power transformer has been simulated in Maxwell software that is based on finite elements. This three-phase power transformer has been used to simulate different conditions. Then, the results have been used as inputs in MATLAB program to implement the equivalent instantaneous inductance technique. The results show that in the case of inrush current, the equivalent instantaneous inductance has a drastic variation, while it is almost constant in the cases of fault conditions.

Internal Fault/ Inrush Currents Discrimination Based on Fuzzy/ Wavelet Transform in Power Transformers

Transformers are major elements of any power systems. Normally they must be properly protected by differential relays. This protection system should be precise and reliable via implementation of strong algorithms that able to differentiate between faulted and unfaulted condition to fully grantee of power continuity. This system should be able to detect the non-faulted condition, such as inrush ...
