Abstract

This paper presents: 1) a novel method for accurate high-frequency modeling of dry-type transformer windings based on magnetic and electric field simulations for parameter extraction of the detailed equivalent circuit of the entire winding system; 2) a method for fast and accurate transient solution of the circuit differential equations that describe the voltage distribution over the winding system; 3) an efficient, cheap, and nondestructive low-voltage measurement system based on a self-developed lightning-impulse generator; and 4) verification of the simulation results by comparison with measurement.
