Abstract :
This paper describes the development of an electromagnetic transient model to represent the eddy current effects in transformer magnetising current. The magnetising current of a transformer is both nonlinear and frequency dependent. The frequency dependence is due to eddy currents. The most commonly used method to represent losses in a transformer model is to add a shunt resistance across one winding. In this paper we have extended a hysteresis model based on the Jiles Atherton theory of ferromagnetic hysteresis to include the effects of eddy currents. A comparison of simulation results and test results is presented in the paper.
