Abstract EN
Results from the magnetization of an 80 kVA power transformer, using a directly coupled nonfiltered three-phase voltage-source inverter (VSI), are presented.
The major benefits of this topology are reduction in switching filter size as well as filter losses.
Drawbacks include higher stress on the transformer windings and higher transformer magnetization losses.
In this paper, the total magnetization losses are presented for different voltage levels.
The transformer has been magnetized with the rated frequency of 50 Hz at various voltage levels.
The saturation characteristics as well as the magnetizing resistance are derived as functions of the voltage.
These are used as inputs for the simulations.
The magnetization losses have been experimentally measured and simulated for three different DC levels.
Results from the simulations show good agreement with the experimental results.
As expected, the pulsed voltage waveforms generate larger magnetization losses than the corresponding 50 Hz case.
The losses are strongly dependent on the DC level.
