Theoretical and Experimental Study on Mechanical Force of Transformer Coil Short Circuit

Abstract:

As one of the most important components of transmission equipment in electric power field, power transformer bears the important task of energy conversion, power distribution and energy transfer. Because generated a huge force in transformer winding by its interior circuit excitation, it would be taken place easily to distortion, collapse and other damage of its structure, which brings a large safe and reliable problem. The lack of mechanical strength of the coil, which cannot withstand the sudden short-circuit current impact, led to the break of insulating layers, is one of the main causes in transformer failure. In this paper, it is discussed that theoretical and experimental study on mechanical force of transformer coil short circuit. According to the structural mechanics, the calculation of the contacted pressure between the coils is attained by building the contacted model. And the experimental system is been designed, which has a servo control system. Compared the theoretical and the Experimental data, the best accurate computed method for contacted pressure is obtained. It is helpful to improve the resistance ability for short circuit of transformer, and provide guarantee for the safe operation of the transformer.
