Most likely this is referring to the initial inrush that occurs when a transformer is energized. The core of a transformer is designed for a specific magnetic field strength; When a transformer is switched into a circuit, it usually will not be switched at exactly a voltage peak. When the voltage is at its' peak, the induced magnetic field will be at zero. If the switching occurs at a voltage zero, the magnetic field strength will attempt to climb to double the designed value; since the transformer core is not generally oversized to this degree, it will saturate. This causes large inflows of current to the transformer, and shows up as even harmonics (mainly second harmonics) in the current waveform. This settles out within a few seconds (generally) to a small energizing current, usually less than 1% of the transformer's rated current.

Sir I am Imran khan in nepal my problem is 6000KVA Step down Transformer is not charging. Transformer Pri- 33000V /105A Sec- 6900V / 502Atransformer all test (open & short circuit ) good . but problem is HT(IR)= value this time IR value 50M ohmBefore 3days HT(IR) = value is 7000M ohm suddenly start Transformer result is Transformer not charging & HT(IR) value is down 50M ohm.
