Ferroresonance is a harmful phenomenon found in power systems where over-voltages, over-currents and frequencies different than the frequency of the electric source can be generated. The physical system of interest has been modelled by seven non-linear, non-autonomous, stiff ordinary differential equations. The model has then been investigated using non-linear dynamics techniques and numerical methods. In this talk we will focus on an interesting dynamical behaviour, so called "pseudo periodic" solutions, and show recent results.
