Method to Estimate Maximum Inrush Current Caused by Energizing No-load Transformer
A method is proposed to estimate maximum inrush current caused by energizing no-load transformer. Based on the mechanism that energizing no-load transformer causes inrush current
according to the basic parameters of transformer’s nameplate and the magnetic flux saturation point to establish nonlinear magnetization curve. The linear features of saturated magnetization curve segment is used to estimate the maximum inrush current. The maximum depth and the duration of voltage sag are calculated. According to the magnetic flux decay time to estimate the duration of voltage sag. The process of closing no-load distribution transformer and power transformer is simulated
and the simulated result is compared to the calculated result. It is shown that the proposed method is validity and accuracy.
