Improved calculations for no-load transformer switching surges.

This paper deals with a modeling of components and calculation of transient overvoltages that build up on the transformer primary terminals after the transformer has been switched off by a vacuum circuit breaker (VCB). The transformer is connected to the circuit breaker by a cable. The transient ove...
