Analysis of temperature distribution in amorphous core dry - type cast - resin transformers via a finite element method
The amorphous core dry-type cast-resin transformer is a type of
energy- saving transformer, which the no-load losses in the amorphous metal is
generally lower from 60% to 70 % than regular electrical steel (silicon steel). In
this paper, the iron core and winding thermal of the dry-type transformer are
simulated/analysed via a finite element method. The analysis of temperature
distribution characteristics of iron core and winding in transformers is a quite
important problem for researchers to show the hot-spot and the temperature rise
highest point. This helps manufacturers/designers to know a temperature
distribution picture in the iron core and windings. Based on that, they can make in a
suitable electrical insulation solution for the windings of transformer.

Tóm tắt nội dung tài liệu: Analysis of temperature distribution in amorphous core dry - type cast - resin transformers via a finite element method
is the non-enclosed dry-type transformer. Hence, the major cooling is a heat conduction between the winding and resin, where the resin and core mainly depend on a natural convection. The effects of the heat generation, due to eddy currents, in mechanical parts such as clamps and bolts were neglected [2], [3]. The structure of transformer components is complicated, so under the accepted assumption, the transformer can be considered as comprised of five major components: amorphous core, low voltage windings, high voltage windings, air duct and fictitious surface acts as a boundary of the air around transformer. 56 entity transformer’s 1/4 coordinates are obtained by the heat diffusion where: (W/m k), surfaces of the model. Winding losses, convection and radiation relations are used to get a complete graph of the temperatures at every location i 2.1. where transfer coefficient for convection from outer surface (W/m2K) of surface (K) and transfer coefficient, we use the correlations used in where coefficient for convection from outer surface [W/(m air W/(m K), the Prandtl number, viscosity of air (m distance (m). that P According to the symmetry of the structure In order to solve the equation (1), many boundary conditions must be applied on the Natural convection The rated heat transfer of convection is obtained by The outer su The above equations are valid over the Grashoff’s range (10 β, ν .

Natural convection in air duct As presented, it is preferable to use the experimental equations which are used by Pierce[6], these are given below: " = ℎ ( − ), ℎ( ) = (4a-b) with = (1 + ) Φ = (1 + ) − + , for Φ ≤ 60 (5) Φ = ( / ) ∗ [( / ) ∗] / , ∗ = " , (6) where qd ′′ is the local convection heat flux in inner or outer cylinder (W/m2), hz is local heat transfer coefficient for convection from inner or outer wall (W/m2 K), b is the width of air duct (m), C1 = 0.697 and C2=1, L is the total height of cylinder (m), q′′ = qi is the heat flux in inner cylinder, and q0 is the heat flux for outer cylinder (W/m2), and R = q0/qi is the inner and outer cylinder. For a rectangular duct, b was replaced with B given by the following equation: = 2 = 2 ( ) (7) 2.3. Natural radiation on the outer surface The outer surface is a vertical cylindrical surface and is assumed as a vertical plate. Two types of heat transfer can occur in the outer surface, including radiation and natural convection, which are described as follows. For the radiation for the outer surface, the heat losses have a considerable effect on the total distribution of temperature in the model. The radiation heat transfer also occurs at out surface off winding and iron core. It can be calculated as given below [6]: " = ( − ), (8) where " is the heat transfer rate per unit area by radiation(W/m2), ε is the emissivity coefficient of surface, σ is the Stephan Boltzman’s coefficient (5.67*10-8 W/m2 K4), Fij is the view factor, T1 is temperature of first surface (K) and T2 is temperature of second surface(K) or temperature of air. 3. THERMAL EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT The governing equations for describing heat transfer have similar formats with the ones for the electric circuits, also known as “thermal equivalent circuit”. For instance, the Fourier’s law in heat transfer and Ohm’s law in electric circuits is analogous. The thermal- circuit can then be solved with analogous Kirchhoffs’circuit laws. The analogous quantities have been summarized into Table 1 Table 1. Thermal – Electric Analogy.

According to the symmetry of the structure, we calculate the model of entity transformer’s 1/8, shown in Figure 2. transformer loss components, which are the no thermal behavior within the electromagnetic devices is composed by conduction, convection (also known as heat advection) and radiation dimensional heat flow makes it convenient to set up a heat transfer network corresponding to the actual transformer structures.
