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

Electromagnetic modeling of transformers is paramount importance for the prediction transient behavior entire system during atmospheric overvoltages and switching transients. Time domain simulations measurements have been performed to model dry-type under in different configurations. This analysis developed method allow investigations possible means protection (or their redundancy) transformer against uncommon transients experienced real circumstances that might exceed dielectric stresses...

Modeling details of frequency dependent parameters and a method for taking those into account in time domain high (HF) transformer simulations are presented. Frequency turn resistance core losses considered. The suggested is general thus not limited only to the considered parameters. obtained by performing (FD) finite element (FEM) simulations. dependences approximated set functions with existing Inverse Fourier Transform (IFT) used convolution integrals model winding system. simulation...
