In order to testify the reliability of commonly used anti-
ferroresonance measures, a lOkV ferroresonance testing
system was set up, and aseries of experiments reproducing the
ferroresonance initiated by a single phase grounding fault, or a
single phase disconnection fault (usually accompanied by
grounding) and so on were carried out. During the tests, the
waveforms of ferroresonance overvoltage and PT current were
monitored and recorded by aDFI024 high speed data
acquisition and recorder. The test system diagram is shown in
