Abstract :
This paper deals with the electromagnetic transients in transformer substations. The substation can have more than one transformer. Generally, these parallel-connected transformers can be of different sizes and neutral treatment. The substation is fed from a high-voltage overhead transmission line (or cable). Emphasis is given to the substation terminal voltage, the transformers´ neutral voltages (if their neutrals are not directly earthed) as well as the internal distribution of transient voltages along the transformers´ windings, following a typical external double-exponential surge voltage. The distributed parameter transient analysis is done in the s-domain, and then followed by a numerical Laplace inverse transform technique to get the distributions in time domain
