Ferroresonance in Power Systems

\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003C/span\u003EThis literature study provides a brief description of the history associated with the term ferroresonance. In addition, the underlying physical cause of ferroresonance is described. The generation mechanism is presented with a simple example that can be reproduced by means of a voltage source, a capacitor and a small air-insulated single-phase transformer. General criteria of the emergence of ferroresonance are also presented. Some specific situations, where one should be aware of regarding possible ferroresonance, are listed.\u003C/p\u003E
