Study on the Deformation of the Oil-Immersed Transformer Tank by FEA

Article Preview

Abstract:

The oil-immersed transformer tank is an outside package component of the transformer body. The sealing quality and mechanical strength of the oil tank are affected by the deformation after loading. In this paper, the 3D finite element model of oil-immersed transformer tank is established. The oil-immersed transformer tank deformation is obtained by FEA under the condition of vacuuming. A series of experiments about the deformation of the oil-immersed transformer tank are carried out. Comparing experiment results with FEA results, FEA results are agrees well with the experiments’. It can save the time consumed on designing the oil tank, and has the directive function for the whole design.
