Operational voltage levels can force a.c. power systems into non-linear behaviour. The system global characteristics are presented in bifurcation diagrams, generated using an electromagnetic–transients program. They reveal the onset of ferroresonance, period-doubling and chaos when series capacitance is present between the supply and saturating transformers.
