Influence of Load Conditions on the Noise Characteristics of an Oil-immersed Distribution Transformer
In order to investigate the influence of load conditions on the noise characteristics of power transformers
noise tests of an oil-immersed distribution transformer in overvoltage
unbalanced load and harmonic load conditions are tested in a semi-anechoic room
respectively.The noise characteristics of the transformer noises in these conditions are compared and analyzed.The result shows that the transformer noise is closely relevant with the mentioned load conditions. The sound pressure level of the transformer increases with the increasing overvoltage level
unbalanced-load degree and harmonic content. In these operation conditions
unbalanced harmonic load has the most influential effect
which may cause a sharp increase of 40 dB(A) to the transformer noise level.As the distribution transformer is commonly operated in poor load conditions
the effects of load conditions should be considered in order to choose a reasonable measure in the noise control process.The analysis results can be referenced in the noise and vibration control process of distribution transformers.
