Synopsis

This book explores the starting currents of transformers with a particular focus on those with silicon steel cores. The author presents mathematical calculations of the transient effects in transformers, supported by measured results obtained with commercial apparatus. These effects were found to be significantly enhanced in transformers utilizing the new silicon steel technology, reaching dangerous levels in some cases. Consequently, protection methods are proposed to prevent damage to the transformer and wider electrical system. This research is valuable not only for the practical solutions it presents but also for its contribution to the theoretical understanding of transformer starting currents. The author's approach combines empirical measurements with mathematical analysis, providing a comprehensive investigation of this important electrical phenomenon.
