If the measured sound levels exceed pre-specified values, modifications must be made to the transformer’s active part or tank. Tank resonance at twice the main power frequency and its higher harmonics, if it occurs, is one of the main reasons of the amplification of the generated sound levels. Therefore, it is preferable to know in the early design stage about the occurrence of tank resonance and propose reliable solutions. The current study presents a newly developed model for calculating the mode shapes and the corresponding eigenfrequencies of the tank. Finite element simulations and an impact hammer test are conducted on a case study transformer to validate the model results.","PeriodicalId":261952,"journal":{"name":"2022 7th International Advanced Research Workshop on Transformers (ARWtr)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115821527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was focused on positive lightning impulse voltages. Partial discharges were detected optically using a photomultiplier tube. The study revealed that the existing design curves for creepage paths cannot be applied to the insulation arrangement. Furthermore, the synthetic ester liquid exhibited partial discharges at 30 % higher electric stress than the gas-to-liquid insulation liquid.","PeriodicalId":261952,"journal":{"name":"2022 7th International Advanced Research Workshop on Transformers (ARWtr)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116801940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If the core is excited in its eigenfrequencies, the sound generated by a transformer will increase significantly. Therefore, knowledge of the core’s eigenmodes and -frequencies in an early design stage can decrease expenses by avoiding costly modifications that might be required to avoid the sound levels exceeding the specified values after the final factory acceptance test. The current study focuses on developing a core resonance model to determine the eigenmodes and -frequencies of a transformer core. The core’s geometry was simplified to a connected-beam structure and a numerical-based approach was applied.
