Abstract

In this paper, a method for earth potential computation of layered soil structure is discussed. To calculate thermal field of the transformer with dc bias, simulation models using MAXWELL and COMSOL are proposed. Based on the electromagnetic analysis, electric power loss resulted in temperature rise is calculated. Under the case of normal operation of transformer, a research was carried out to compare the abnormal changes of temperature of transformer. It worked out that if there are different DC parts in transformer, the loss will increase with DC bias and the temperature of transformer core will also increase. If it is increasing continuously and no preventive measures are taken soon, the thermal aging of some parts in transformer will speed up and gradually affect the normal operation of transformer. The research lays the groundwork for further research of transformer DC bias and aging.
