Abstract

Low
voltage winding leads cause local eddy current losses in top-plate of the
transformer tank. In this paper, this loss component which also causes local
hot spots is investigated. Top-plate design is modified using stainless steel
non-magnetic material, around the low voltage bushing holes. Manufacturing
issues and cost as well as power losses are considered as main criteria during
modification study. Magnetic flux distributions and eddy current losses are
analysed and compared for different designs. Comparisons are based on 3D finite
element simulations and experimental studies. Obtained results show that,
insertion of single I-shaped stainless steel plate reduces eddy current losses
around low voltage bushing holes to nearly zero.

Yüksek verimli transformatörlerde buşing bağlantı noktalarında meydana gelen eddy akımı kayıplarının azaltılması

Abstract

Bu
çalışmada, transformatörlerin kazan kapağı üzerinde alçak gerilim sargılarının
bağlantı uçları sebebiyle meydana gelen ve yüksek sıcaklıklara da neden olan
eddy akımı kayıpları incelenmektedir. Bu kayıpların azaltılması amacıyla kazan
kapağı tasarımı manyetik özellikli olmayan paslanmaz çelik malzeme kullanılarak
iyileştirilmektedir. Bu iyileştirme çalışması sırasında imalat koşulları ve
maliyet kriterleri de göz önünde tutulmaktadır. Farklı tasarımlar için manyetik
akı dağılımları ve eddy akımı kayıpları üç boyutlu sonlu elemanlar yöntemi
yardımıyla analiz edilmiş ve deneysel olarak da doğrulanmıştır. Elde edilen
sonuçlar, kazan kapağı üzerinde alçak gerilim buşinglerinin bağlantı yüzeyinin
paslanmaz çelikten imal edilen I-biçimli tek parça levha kullanılarak
üretilmesi sonucunda kapak üzerinde meydana gelen güç kayıplarının tamamına
yakınının ortadan kaldırılabildiğini göstermektedir.
