Abstract

In this paper, a three-dimensional eddy current field model to calculate the eddy current losses in an isolated phase bus (IPB) is proposed. The rise in temperature of the conductors and enclosures in the IPB are evaluated using the proposed set of thermal equations. Computation results of a 20-kV/12.5-kA IPB scheme are reported to validate the algorithm. The withstand voltage ability and short-circuit stress of the IPB are also verified. The agreement between the computation and test results confirm that the design scheme being studied is successful and practical.
