Analytical calculation of detailed model parameters of cast resin dry-type transformers

Non-flammable characteristic of cast resin dry-type transformers make them suitable for different kind of usages. This paper presents an analytical method of how to obtain parameters of detailed model of these transformers. The calculated parameters are compared and verified with the corresponding FEM results and if it was necessary, correction factors are introduced for modification of the analytical solutions. Transient voltages under full and chopped test impulses are calculated using the obtained detailed model. In order to validate the model, a setup was constructed for testing on high-voltage winding of cast resin dry-type transformer. The simulation results were compared with the experimental data measured from FRA and impulse tests.

► In this paper high frequency behavior of cast resin dry-type transformers was simulated. ► Parameters of detailed model were calculated using analytical method and compared with FEM results. ► A lab transformer was constructed in order to compare theoretical and experimental results.
