Abstract

Ferroresonance has been a widely studied area in the last few decades due to the nonlinear behavior and power quality problems it presents. Some power quality problems related to the ferroresonance phenomenon are sustained overvoltage and overcurrent and maintained levels of waveform distortions. The phenomenon can lead to the dielectric breakdown of electrical equipment, thermal problems, and misoperation of protective relays. It can present itself in a circuit that involves a nonlinear inductance associated with capacitance and low losses. This paper analyzes the ferroresonance test in a capacitor voltage transformer through Simulink® simulation. It divided a cycle of a sine wave into 72 different points to apply controlled short-circuits in the secondary terminal of the transformer. The aim is to study the relationship between the time when a short-circuit is applied, and the peak voltage of the first positive half-cycle after the short-circuit is removed. Therefore, the worst-case scenario of the short-circuit application was verified. Results demonstrate that there is a most critical situation during short-circuits at the CVT’s secondary terminals.
