Abstract
In the paper, the effects of DC-bias current on the 500kV power transformer with three-phase five-limb core structure are investigated by calculation and experiment. First, the coupling field-circuit model is applied to simulate the DC-bias characteristics of power transformer, where the traditional magnetic circuit models are replaced by Maxwell’s equations in the magnetic circuit. Then the no-load DC-bias experiment is made to investigate the endure ability of 500kV power transformer. It is seen that the calculated results are agreed well with the experimental results. The no-load currents of the 500kV power transformer are distorted and the THD increases under DC-bias. The even harmonic is increased first and then decreased with the increasing of DC injected current. The obtained results are significant for the manufacturer of power transformer and operation staff of power system.
