Magnetising Inrush
Transient condition - occurs when a
transformer is energised
Normal operating flux of a transformer is close to saturation
level
Residual flux can increase the mag-current
In the case of three phase transformer, the point-on-wave at
switch-on differs for each phase and hence, also the inrush
currents
