EXPERIMENTAL AND SIMULATING OF DRY-TYPE TRANSFORMER THERMAL ANALYSIS WITH A NEW APPROACH FOR OUTDOOR APPLICATIONS

Abstract

Since dry type transformers (DTT) has many advantages over the oily ones, this study focuses on the realibity, feasibility and cost of DTT to be used at outdoor applications. On this respect the core and winding temperatures of the 1500 VA DTT transformer model is measured by thermal camera The operational highest temperature of the transformer is obtained by this way. The DTT is simulated by ANSYS with the design parameters based On the physical model, and the simulation values and the real ones are compared to satisfy the procedure. Then in the light of simulation results, an outer cover is designed for outdoor applications which is the goal of the paper. The real hot spot temperature of the 1500 VA DTT is 129 ° C remains the same with the new cover simulation designed DTT that naturally cooled. Furthermore, the temperature of the new design DTT is reduced by about 4.6% to 123 ° C by forced cooling. So the new cover design not only provide to be used at outdoors applications, it also increases the lifetime of the device, and reduces the operation costs.
