Abstract

This paper investigates the effect of iron core saturation characteristic degree on the onset of chaotic ferrore-sonance and duration of transient chaos in an autotransformer. The transformer chosen for study has a rating of 50 MVA, 635.1 kV, the magnetization characteristic of the autotransformer is modeled by a single-value two-term polynomial with q = 5, 7, 11. The core loss is modeled by a linear resistance and is considered a fix value for it. Simulation results are derived by using MATLAB software and nonlinear dynamics tool such as bifurcation and phase plan diagrams. It is shown settling down to the chaotic region is increased when degree of core nonlinearity is gone from 5 to 11.
