Large transformers, like highly rated rotating machines, can be modelled in ‘micro’ form to demonstrate significant second order, non-linear, features. The design and manufacture of 3 kVA (nominal) rating three-phase and three single-phase transformer bank units, all with three-limb cores and 0.17 per unit leakage reactance are described.
