An approach for finding ferroresonance occurrence domains has been develope
d. The steady state solutions are calculated by the Galerkin method and a b
ifurcation diagram is created using a continuation method. By using the pro
posed approach, continuous and well defined domains can be found. A study o
f two actual systems is introduced and experimental and computational resul
ts are shown. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
