How to reduce the loss generated by the Transformer during operation?

Publish Time: 2024-10-15
Transformers are widely used in power systems. However, they will generate losses during operation. Reducing these losses is of great significance to improving energy efficiency and economic benefits.

First of all, from the perspective of core loss, the loss can be reduced by selecting high-quality core materials. Core materials with high magnetic permeability can reduce hysteresis loss and eddy current loss. For example, silicon steel sheets are used as core materials, and the manufacturing process of silicon steel sheets is continuously improved to improve its quality and performance. At the same time, the shape and size of the core are reasonably designed, the lamination method of the core is optimized, and the magnetic resistance in the core is reduced, which can also effectively reduce the loss.

In terms of winding loss, appropriately increasing the cross-sectional area of the winding can reduce the current density, thereby reducing copper loss. In addition, the use of high-conductivity copper as the winding material can improve the conductivity and reduce the resistance loss. In the winding design, the use of reasonable winding methods, such as transposition winding, can make the current distribution more uniform and further reduce the loss.

The load rate of the Transformer will also affect the loss. Keeping the Transformer running within a reasonable load rate range can reduce the loss. Generally speaking, when the Transformer operates between 50% and 75% of the rated load, it has a higher efficiency and relatively less loss. Therefore, in the planning and operation of the power system, it is necessary to reasonably configure the Transformer capacity to avoid long-term light load or overload operation.

Optimizing the cooling system of the Transformer can also help reduce losses. Efficient cooling methods can enable the Transformer to operate at a lower temperature, reduce problems such as increased resistance and insulation aging caused by increased temperature, and thus reduce losses. For example, cooling methods such as air cooling or oil cooling can be used, and the normal operation and maintenance of the cooling system can be ensured.

In addition, improving the manufacturing process and quality control level of the Transformer is also an important measure to reduce losses. During the manufacturing process, strictly control the process parameters of each link to ensure the structural accuracy and assembly quality of the Transformer and reduce additional losses caused by manufacturing defects.

In short, reducing the losses generated by the Transformer during operation requires multiple aspects, including selecting high-quality materials, optimizing the design, reasonably controlling the load rate, improving the cooling system, and improving the manufacturing process. By taking these measures in combination, the operating efficiency of the Transformer can be effectively improved, energy waste can be reduced, and contributions can be made to energy conservation and consumption reduction in the power system. At the same time, with the continuous advancement of technology, it is necessary to continuously explore new methods and technologies to further reduce the loss of Transformer to adapt to increasingly stringent energy and environmental requirements.
