Ferroresonance or nonlinear resonance is a type of resonance in electric circuits which occurs when a circuit containing a nonlinear inductance is fed from a source that has series capacitance, and the circuit is subjected to a disturbance such as opening of a switch.〔Roger C. Dugan et al, ''Electrical Power Systems Quality Second Edition'',McGraw-Hill 2002, ISBN 0-07-138622-X, chapter 4 page 120〕 It can cause overvoltages and overcurrents in an electrical power system and can pose a risk to transmission and distribution equipment and to operational personnel. Ferroresonance should not be confused with linear resonance that occurs when inductive and capacitive reactances of a circuit are equal. In linear resonance the current and voltage are linearly related in a manner which is frequency dependent. In the case of ferroresonance it is characterised by a sudden jump of voltage or current from one stable operating state to another one. The relationship between voltage and current is dependent not only on frequency but also on a number of other factors such as the system voltage magnitude, initial magnetic flux condition of transformer iron core, the total loss in the ferroresonant circuit and the point on wave of initial switching.〔 Ferroresonant effects were first described in a 1907 paper by Joseph Bethenod.〔 The term "ferroresonance" was apparently coined by French engineer Paul Boucherot in a paper from 1920, where he analysed the phenomenon of two stable fundamental frequency operating points coexisting in a series circuit containing a resistor, nonlinear inductor and a capacitor.〔Boucherot, P.,"Éxistence de Deux Régimes en Ferrorésonance", Rev.Gen. de L’Élec., vol. 8, no. 24, December 11, 1920, pp. 827-828〕〔Jacobson, D.A.N., (''Examples of Ferroresonance in a High Voltage Power System'' ), accessed 2011-09-25〕 ==Conditions == Ferroresonance can occur when an unloaded 3-phase system consisting mainly of inductive and capacitive components is interrupted by single phase means.〔Dugan, R. C., (''Examples of Ferroresonance in Distribution Systems'' ), accessed 2011-09-06〕〔Ferracci, Ph., (''Cahier technique n° 190: Ferroresonance'' ), Groupe Schneider, accessed 2011-09-06〕 In the electrical distribution field this typically occurs on a medium voltage electrical distribution network of transformers (inductive component) and power cables (capacitive component). If such a network has little or no resistive load connected and one phase of the applied voltage is then interrupted, ferroresonance can occur. If the remaining phases are not quickly interrupted and the phenomenon continues, overvoltage can lead to the breakdown of insulation in the connected components resulting in their failure. The phenomenon can be avoided by connecting a minimal resistive load on the transformer secondaries or by interrupting the applied voltage by a 3-phase interrupting device such as a ganged (3 pole) circuit breaker.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ferroresonance in electricity networks」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
