Finite element modeling of three phase three limbed transformer requires solving of field and circuit variables simultaneously. The accurate modeling thus obtained could predict asymmetry in magnetizing current of three phases due to asymmetry in core of three limbed transformer.

This work includes circuit field coupling using COMSOL Multiphysics’ ACDC module. By proper modeling in SPICE it is shown that there is continuous flow of zero sequence current due to asymmetry in the core of transformer.
