Resonance Overvoltages in Primary Winding of a Station Service Voltage Transformer

Аннотация

The design of new types of transformer equipment, in particular, station service voltage transformers (SSVTs), requires a detailed consideration of all technical aspects and conditions of their application and their design features. One problem is to provide their resistance to effects associated with their interaction with the grid. During transient events in the network caused by the operation of switching equipment or short circuits, the transformers are affected by the oscillating voltage, which, under certain conditions, can cause resonance overvoltages inside their windings. The design of SSVTs differs from that of common power transformers, mostly because different types of windings are used, which determines the essential difference in the natural oscillation frequencies and the theoretical possibility of the development of resonance overvoltages under changed combinations of network parameters and switching conditions. In this paper, the problems of estimating the natural and dominating oscillation frequencies in SSVT windings and the voltages on the longitudinal insulation of SSVT windings under the resonance conditions are considered. The proposed approach is applicable not only to SSVTs, but also to other types of transformer equipment.
