AB Power-quality events and operation transients in power systems (PS) with isolated neutralcan saturate inductive voltage transformers (IVT), which, when interacting with the overhead andunderground cable capacitances, can cause ferroresonance events in the local PS. This abnormaloperating mode can partially or totally damage the transformers and switchgears within the affectedPS. Distribution system operators (DSO) can minimize these effects by detecting ferroresonance eventsaccurately and fast enough and changing the mode of operation accordingly. Direct detection methods,i.e., based on voltage measurements, are reliable, but the massive deployment of this solution isrelatively expensive; i.e., power quality analyzers cost thousands of USD. Alternatively, indirectdetection methods are also available, e.g., IVT vibration measurements with accelerometers costinghundreds of USD, but their reliability depends on the installation method used. This manuscriptproposes using the acoustic noise caused by magnetostriction forces within the IVT core duringferroresonance events to detect their occurrence. Compared to other indirect methods, electretcondenser microphones with preamplifying stage cost less than USD 10 and are less sensitive tothe installation procedure. The proposed method is validated experimentally, and its performancecompared to IVT vibration measurements one by using the same detection methodology.
