Vibration characteristics and vibration isolation design of oil-immersed power transformer

Abstract

Transformer vibration and noise has become a prominent problem in power grid construction and operation. Firstly, on the basis of expounding the vibration mechanism of iron core and winding, the transmission path of vibration and noise of transformer is analyzed. Secondly, it is pointed out that it is not cost-effective to control transformer vibration and noise only from the selection of core and winding materials, manufacturing process and structural optimization. It is necessary to start from the transmission path of transformer sound and vibration, and adopt auxiliary vibration reduction and noise reduction measures such as vibration isolation of the body to reduce the transmission of vibration of the body to the oil tank wall, foundation and adjacent structures. Then, the design method of oil immersed power transformer body vibration isolation is discussed, and the relevant parameters such as frequency ratio, damping ratio and the arrangement of vibration isolation support are proposed. The reasonable vibration isolation design of transformer body can achieve remarkable vibration isolation effect and the vibration isolation efficiency can reach more than 96%. Finally, the vertical design stiffness of 81 kinds of oil immersed power transformer vibration isolation layers with 4 voltage levels of 10 kV, 35 kV, 110 kV and 220 kV are calculated. Taking a typical 110 kV transformer as an example, the corresponding vibration isolation design scheme is proposed. The research provides a good reference for the vibration isolation design of transformer body in the future.
