Transient Analysis of Air-Core Coils by Moment Method

Abstract

In electric power system a threat of lighting surge is decreased by using ground wire and arrester, but the risk of failure of transformer is still high. Winding is the most familiar conductor configuration of electromagnetic field components such as transformer, resistors, reactance device etc. Therefore, it is important that we invest the lighting surge how to advance into winding, but the electromagnet coupling in a winding makes lighting surge analysis difficult. In this paper we present transient characteristics analysis of an air-core coils by moment method in frequency domain. We calculate the inductance from time response and impedance in low frequency, and compare them with the analytical equation which is based on Nagaoka factor.
