Harmonic response and terminal resonances of high voltage transformers
The first terminal resonance of distribution transformers is evaluated to be above a useful harmonic frequency band, whereas a testing transformer exhibits a low order harmonic resonance. A simple formula relating the first terminal resonance of a transformer to its name place is derived.
