1-Phase N-Winding Transformer

 

Description

This component models a single-phase, ideal transformer that can be configured to model from five to 12 windings. Options are provided to enable a simple saturation model on a user selected winding, as well as for adding a tap changer.

Optional text parameter for identification of the component.

         

 Transformer MVA

 

REAL

Constant

The apparent power rating of the transformer [MVA].

 

 

 

 

 

Base Operation Frequency

 

REAL

Constant

The base frequency of the electrical system, in which the transformer resides [Hz].

 

 

 

 

 

Number of Windings

 

Choice

 

Select the number of windings, from 5 to 12.

 

 

 

 

 

Tap Changer on Winding

 

Choice

 

Select None, #1, #2... #12.

 

Select the winding number on which to place the on-line tap changer (or none). See On-Line Tap Changer for more details.

Time to Release Flux Clipping

 

REAL

Constant

Time interval from start-up in which the model will 'clip' (limit) the calculated flux linkage values. This is simply a modelling 'trick' to prevent instability at start-up [s].

 

 

 

 

 

Air Core Reactance

 

REAL

Constant

Usually approximately twice the leakage reactance [pu].

 

 

 

 

 

Magnetizing Current

 

REAL

Constant

The percentage of primary winding current that flows through the transformer magnetizing susceptance. This value can be calculated based on the open-circuit test results. The magnetizing susceptance is calculated based on this value [%].

 

 

 

 

 

Knee Voltage

 

REAL

Constant

The knee point voltage corresponding to the knee point of the saturation curve [pu].
