Where,

Therefore since,

(6-13)

Then,

(6-14)

By combining Equations 6-8 and 6-14 we obtain L1 = L2 =13.263 mH and from Equation 6-12 we obtain aL12 = 26.5119 H. The values
for the parameters in Equation 6-1 are then obtained as:

26.5252 H (6-15)

6.6313 H (6-16)

13.2560 H (6-17)

Inverting the Mutual Induction Matrix

It was discussed previously that as the coefficient of coupling K approaches unity the elements of the inverse inductance matrix
become large and approach infinity. This makes it impossible to derive the transformer currents in the form given by Equation 6-5.

An excessively small magnetising current also leads to such ill conditioning. In such cases, it is often advisable to model the
transformer with only leakage reactances and no magnetizing branch, as shown in Figure 6-3. Such a transformer is referred to as
'ideal' in this document and also in PSCAD.

For an ideal transformer, the relationship between the derivatives of current (i.e. ) and the voltages can be
directly expressed as in Equation 6-18; derived by considering the circuit equations for a short-circuit test conducted on one side,

with a voltage source applied to the other (keep in mind that and either V1 or V2 is zero for a given test):
