I. INTRODUCTION
Electrical machines are usually represented, in
electrical engineering, by means of their equivalent
circuits. Accurate calculation of short circuit reactance
of transformer is essential for modeling of transformers.
However, the calculation of leakage reactance of
transformer coils is performed in many papers by using
different analytical and numerical methods [1] - [6], but
most of the analytical methods are not accurate,
especially when the axial length of HV and LV windings
are not equal, and in several of numerical methods the
whole or a half of a three phase transformer is modeled.
In this paper we determine leakage reactance of
transformer by using FEM and just by modeling the half
of transformer window for a three phase core type
transformer and therefore the required time for our
calculation is decreased.
Furthermore the forces that acting upon the transformer
coils have to be evaluated before manufacturing and then
required mechanical support considerations must be
performed during manufacturing process. For these
reasons, evaluation of magnetic field distribution of
transformer is essential for calculation of electromagnetic
forces and number of useful electric parameters such as
leakage reactance. For our purpose, just the modeling of
transformer window is adequate and therefore an
appropriate model of transformer window is defined
considering the construction and position of coils and the

D. Reactance calculation
The leakage reactance of a transformer arises from
this fact that all the flux produced by one winding does
not link the other winding. The magnitude of this leakage
flux is the function of the geometry and construction of
the transformer.
In this stage of analysis, we able to calculate leakage
reactance of transformer, by using two post processing
methods.
1) Magnetic energy storage method: Due to this fact that
we considered the magnetic vector potential of each
triangular element as a linear function of x and y,
therefore the radial and axial component of magnetic flux
density and therefore absolute value of B of each
triangular element become fix values, as shown in
following equations.
