    Sympathetic Inrush Currents in Transformer

    Uploaded by

    Joseph Nguyen
    This document outlines a thesis project that aims to analyze sympathetic inrush currents in transformers. The objectives are to characterize sympathetic inrush currents, compare them in parallel and series configurations, suggest energization methods to minimize their effects, and propose solutions for protection equipment to filter them. Key points explain that inrush currents saturate transformer cores, and energizing one transformer can cause currents in others sharing a busbar due to offset flux. The research plan involves studying fundamentals, simulating scenarios, experimental validation, and prototyping mitigation techniques for protection systems.

    SYMPATHETIC INRUSH CURRENTS IN TRANSFORMER

    by
    Karthik Manimaran z3374579

    Assessor: Dr. Minsoo Jang


    Supervisor: Dr. Toan Phung

    Thesis Objectives

    Find typical characteristics of sympathetic inrush current


    Find differences in sympathetic inrush currents in Parallel and Series
    Configuration
    Suggest methods of energisation to minimize the effects of Sympathetic
    inrush current
    Propose solutions to protection equipment to filter Sympathetic Inrush
    Current

    Key Points

    Inrush currents are caused due to overexciting the transformer during


    energisation or switching, which causes the core of the transformer to be
    saturated and thus requiring large magnetizing currents. Mathematically
    shown below:

    When two or more transformers are connected sharing a common


    node/busbar, then energizing one transformer while the other transformers
    are already energized causes sympathetic inrush currents due to the offset
    flux, which is created as a result of the inrush current of the newly
    energized transformer. Offset flux is given by the following equations below
    for a parallel configuration:

    Sympathetic inrush currents cause protection equipment to mal function, as


    sympathetic inrush currents are mistaken by the equipment to be fault
    currents.

    Plan of Action

    Research from the basics to get a complete understanding


    Build computer models to simulate sympathetic inrush currents
    Conduct Lab experiments to provide practical evidence
    Prototype design for protection equipment to handle sympathetic inrush
    currents
