3.10.2.1 Response of a Simple Coil<br />

<strong>Transformer</strong> windings are complex structures of wire and insulation. This is the result of many contradictory<br />

requirements levied during the design process. In an effort to introduce the basic concepts of<br />

transient response, a very simple disk coil was modeled and the internal transient response computed.<br />

The coil consisted of 100 identical continuous disk sections of 24 turns each. The inside radius of the<br />

coil is 318.88 mm; the space between each disk coil is 5.59 mm; and the coil was assumed to be in air<br />

with no iron core. Each turn was made of copper 7.75 mm in height, 4.81 mm in the radial direction,<br />

with 0.52 mm of insulation between the turns. For this example, the coil was subjected to a full wave<br />

with a 1.0 per-unit voltage. Figure 3.10.1 provides a sketch of the coil and the node numbers associated<br />

with the calculation. For this example, the coil has been subdivided into 50 equal subdivisions, with each<br />

subdivision a section pair. Figure 3.10.2 contains the response of the winding as a function of time for<br />

the first 200 sec. It should be clear that the response is complex and a function of both the applied<br />

excitation voltage and the characteristics of the coil itself.<br />

3.10.2.2 Initial Voltage Distribution<br />

If the voltage distribution along the helical coil shown in Figure 3.10.2 is examined at times very close<br />

to time zero, it is observed that the voltage distribution is highly nonuniform. For the first few tenths of<br />

a second, the distribution is dominated exclusively by the capacitive structure of the coil. This distribution<br />

is often referred to as the initial (or short time) distribution, and it is generally highly nonuniform.<br />

This initial distribution is shown in Figure 3.10.3. For example, examining the voltage gradient over the<br />

first 10% of the winding, one sees that the voltage is 82% rather that the anticipated 10%, or one sees a<br />

rather large enhancement or gradient in some portions of the winding.<br />

The initial distribution shown in Figure 3.10.3 is based on the assumption that the coil knows how it<br />

is connected, i.e., it requires some current to flow in the winding, and this requires some few tens of a<br />

nanosecond. The initial distribution can be determined by evaluating the voltage distribution for the<br />

capacitive network of the winding and ignoring both the inductive and resistive components of the<br />

transformer. This discussion is applicable for times greater than approximately 0.25 sec. This is the start<br />

of the transient response for the winding. For times smaller than 0.25 sec, the distribution is still dictated<br />

by capacitance, but the transformer’s capacitive network is unaware that it is connected. This is addressed<br />

in the chapter on very fast transients and in the work of Narang et al. [11].<br />

3.10.2.3 Steady-State Voltage Distribution<br />

The steady-state voltage distribution depends primarily on the inductance and losses of the windings<br />

structure. This distribution, referred to by Abetti [15] as the pseudo-final, is dominated primarily by the<br />

self-inductance and mutual inductance of the windings and the manner in which the winding is con-<br />
