Resumen:
In this paper the influence of core parameters in Frequency Response Analysis is analyzed through the equivalent circuit impedancematrix of the transformer winding; the parameters of the circuit have been computed using the Finite Element Method. In order toappreciate the behavior of the iron core in comparison to the air core, the frequency dependence of resonances is calculated to show how the air core only influences the results at low frequencies. The core is modeled using a complex permeability, and the parameters of conductivity and permeability are varied to show their influence in the resonances, which turned out to be negligible. In order to explain this behavior, the eigenvalues of the inverse impedance matrix are calculated showing that they are similar for different values of conductivity and permeability. Finally, the magnetic flux inside and outside the core and its influence in the frequency response is studied.
