Research on 750kV Reactor Vibration Based on Electromagnetic-mechanical Field Coupling Finite Element Model

Abstract

The vibration signal characteristics of a 750kV shunt reactor with high voltage level and high vibration amplitude is one of the important indexes to evaluate the operating condition of the reactor. Since the high level of safe operation with Ultra-high voltage power equipment, it is challenging to collect long-term and extensive vibration signal data under safe operating conditions. This paper establishes the electromagnetic-mechanical field coupling finite element model (FEM) of a 750kV shunt reactor under a COMSOL open-source simulation environment. The resonance effect of magnetostriction of the iron core and the Maxwell forces between the iron core discs on the reactor structure is analyzed. The vibration distribution and typical frequency characteristics of each part of the 750kV shunt reactor are analyzed to provide a reference for the research of vibration fault diagnosis of Ultra-high shunt reactor.
