  of the electrical power system. At the time of transformer energization high current is drawn by the transformer known as the inrush current. This current is nearly ten times more than the full load current of transformer. It produces mechanical stress on transformer and also affects the windings and bushings of the transformer. The large switching transient current affects malfunction of protection system of power system and the different equipments connected to system. So the inrush current should be minimized. There are different methods used to minimize the inrush current such as volt second balance, series compensator, point on wave switching method etc. This paper focuses on point on wave switching method. It also explains the results for inrush current of three phase transformer with and without point on wave switching method. A test is driven on 450 kVA, 500kV/230kV grounded Y/D transformer in MATLAB/SIMLINK environment. It also focuses on
