Design of Five-Phase Transformer through Finite Element Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The interests in multiphase (more than three) system are escalating recently especially in the motor drive applications. Thus, this paper introduces the graphical phasor diagram method in designing the multiphase transformer connection. The proposed method eases the design process of the static multiphase transformer that produces multiphase output from the standard three phase input. The transformer connection was simulated in ANSYS Maxwell and the multiphase waveform with appropriate phase angle was obtained. The design of five-phase transformer using graphical phasor and simulation results from the finite elements software are presented in this paper.
