Application of PEEC Model in Calculation of Transformer High Frequency Voltage

Abstract Overvoltage will occur on transformer windings when high frequency waves such as lightning strike and Very fast transient overvoltage(VFTO) intrude into transformer windings. The model and parameters is the basis of calculating transient overvoltage in transformer windings. In this paper, partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) is used to calculate High Frequency Voltage on transformer windings. the inner grid of conductor through which conductive current passes and the surface grid of conductor with charge distribution is used to transform into the inductance unit and capacitance unit of PEEC respectively. The mutual capacitance between different windings is solved by PEEC. The change regulation of resistance coefficient of transformer windings under different frequency waveforms is analyzed, and the internal voltage of transformer under different frequency applied voltage is solved. The results show that the self-inductance of winding decreases slightly with the increase of applied voltage frequency, and basically remains unchanged in high frequency band. With the increase of frequency, the voltage waveform on winding turns decreases rapidly.
