To suppress the magnetizing inrush current occurring when supplying power of three phases of the transformer are performed simultaneously using three single-phase circuit breakers or a non-phase segregated operation-type circuit breaker, without providing a circuit breaker with a resistor or other equipment. A magnetizing inrush current suppression method for transformer suppresses a magnetizing inrush current occurring at the start of energizing of a three-phase transformer, when a three-phase power supplyis input to a terminal of each phase by means of a three-phase circuit breaker. In the method, by integrating phase voltages or line-to-line voltages on the primary side or the secondary side or the tertiary side when three-phase AC voltages are applied in a steady state to the transformer, steady-state magnetic fluxfor each phase of the transformer is calculated, and the polarity and magnitude of the residual magnetic fluxof each phase of the transformer after the circuit breakershuts off the transformer are calculated, and the three-phase circuit breaker is caused to close simultaneously in a regionin which three phases overlap, each of the three phases having the polarity of the steady-state magnetic fluxequal to the polarity of the residual magnetic fluxfor each phase of the transformer.

Magnetizing inrush current suppression device and method for transformer

A first calculation part calculates the phase-to-phase steady-state magnetic flux of the three phases of the power supply. A second calculation part calculates the phase-to-phase residual magnetic flux of the three phases in the primary windings side of the transformer when the circuit breakers interrupt the transformer. A phase detection part detects a voltage phase at which polarity and magnitude of the calculated steady-state magnetic flux and residual magnetic flux coincide. Closing control part firstly causes only the circuit breakers of the two phases to close at the detected voltage phase, and then causes the circuit breaker of the remaining one phase to close.
