Analysis of Multi-physical Field in Ventilated Dry-type Transformer with FEM Method
Temperature is an important index to measure operation state of a power transformer. In this paper
the coupled-field finite-element method is used to calculate the temperature distribution of a ventilated dry-type transformer. Firstly
power loss of each component of the transformer is obtained by three-dimensional(3D)magnetic field calculation. Then the losses are input to the two-dimensional(2D)steady-state fluid-thermal field model as a load to calculate the temperature distribution of the transformer. Temperature measurement experiment shows that the computed temperature rise is in good agreement with the measured value. Moreover
the 2D transient fluid-thermal field is calculated by using the power losses in overcurrent condition. Finally
the maximum allowable temperature value of the transformer is taken as the reference to get the transformer’s maximum permissible working time for different overload conditions. The results show that the dry-type transformer can work normally at 10% overload
while the maximum permissible working time is 127
68
26
and 8 minutes as the overload is 20%
30%
40% and 50%
respectively. This study may provide a reference for understanding overload capability of this kind of ventilated dry-type transformers.
