Description

The inductance matrix transformer (IMT) model reproduces the behavior of a three-phase linear transformer at power frequency. This model works with the Transformer data Tab. Based on excitation and short-circuit tests in positive and zero sequences, the tool computes two matrices [R] and [L] modeling the transformer. The R_i and L_i are the resistance and self inductance of each coil. M_ij are the mutual inductances between coils. HYPERSIM simulates the transformer as mutually-coupled R-L branches. All computing details of matrices [R] and [L] can be found in the Transformer data Tab documentation.

Supports

A three-limb core representation
A five-limb core representation
