Research on Structure Loss Separation of Power Transformer

Abstract

How to effective control losses of large power transformer, such as tank and structural parts, shielding and others, which is significant to reduce the manufacturing cost of power transformer and the safety of network operation. Based above, this paper investigated on the structural parts (pull plates, clamps and others) loss of power transformer with analytical and experimental method under different harmonic conditions. First, measured the B-H, B-P and permeability curves of different materials (silicon steel sheet, non-magnetic steel and steel) under different frequencies. Second, established the loss calculation model of power transformer based on analytical method; at the same time, calculated the losses of the structural parts under different shields with the finite element method. Finally, an experimental study is carried out to verify the correctness of the proposed simulation results.
