A Transformer Inrush Mitigation Method
Abstract—Voltage sags are major power quality problems en-counteredbyindustries.Especiallyforhigh-techcompaniesinside
industry parks, any voltage sag event in the distribution system
could affect many manufacturers and inflict significant losses.
The voltage sag compensator, based on a transformer-coupled
series-connected voltage source inverter, is among the most cost-
effectivesolutiontoprotectsensitiveloads.Oneimportantissueof

tion.Theinrushcurrentmaytriggertheover-currentprotectionof
the compensator inverter, and the compensation voltage is greatly
reduced due the magnetic saturation of the coupling transformer.
Oversizing the transformer is a common approach to avoid the
inrushcurrent.However,thiswoulddramaticallyincreasethesize
