Abstract

Transformers transform electric energy. There are varieties of transformer and used for many different purposes. They are nearly inbuilt into every electric/electronic device around us. Power transformers are essential components in power systems. The purpose of this method to identify inrush current and Fault current in power transformer or to avoid the needless by magnetizing inrush current. The performance of this method is demonstrated by simulation of different faults and switching conditions on a power transformer using MATLAB software.
