Ferroresonance in electrical systems

Abstract

A series‐LCR circuit is one of the simplest circuits capable of exhibiting ferroresonance. A numerical simulation of such a circuit is constructed using the Preisach model of hysteresis to accurately represent the non‐linear magnetic response of the inductor. Numerical data obtained from this simulation shows good agreement when compared to data from a laboratory‐built experimental circuit. A bifurcation diagram is constructed to illustrate the coexistence of multiple solutions and the existence of period doubling.
