THE FEM ANALYSIS OF NONSYMETRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT FORCES AND FIELDS IN THE WINDOW OF CONVERTOR TRANSFORMER

The paper describes the simulation of a short circuit of one diode in a three‐phase convertor set connected to a 2 winding transformer. The forcing currents are computed with the circuit simulation method. The circuit — field model is solved with the finite‐element method. In the paper is presented the distribution of flux lines and values of short circuit forces (strains) solved during one period every 15 degrees in the window of the convertor transformer. This approach to dynamic phenomena using the method presented has not yet been applied to short circuit research in transformers.
