How to select the ferroresonace damping resistance for open delta winding?
Ferroresonance is a non-linear resonance phenomenon that can affect in unearthed and compensated power networks.
Ferroresonance is formed by the voltage transformer (VT) non-linear magnetizing inductance and the earth capacitances of
the network. For a ferroresonance, it is typical that:
- the oscillation is initiated by some switching action
- the resonance ceases, when further lines are connected
- phase voltages are highly distorted, but not line voltages
- overvoltages arises, which may damage the equipment.
Protection against ferroresonance is gained by coupling a damping resistor in the open delta winding. A typical size of this
is 50 to 60 ohms. However, if the oscillation happens at a half the rated frequency, a lower resistance is usually needed.
With ABB voltage transformer type of KRES, usually two 47 ohm resistor in parallel (i.e. 23.5 ohm) is used.
where Us = rated voltage of VT secondary connected to the resistance R (typically 100/3 or 110/3).
Furthermore, this power must not exceed the rated power of the voltage transformer.
A new innovation, VT Guard, is a ferroresonance-preventing device that can be used instead of the resistor.
