Evaluation of Environmental Noise And Vibration Levels of Dry Type Transformers And Determination of Solution Alternatives: Istanbul Case Study
Abstract
Today, energy requirements are increasing day by day, from the devices we use at home to the complex production activities that are carried out in the industry. The need for electrical equipment is also increasing with increasing energy requirements. The use of power transformers, which can be specified as the basis of energy transmission and distribution, also increases in this scope. When it considered in the context of good electric infrastructure, location of the transformers is as important as the number of transformers. In this study; environmental noise and vibration originated by the power transformer located in the building and measures to be taken were determined in order to determine and reduce the environmental effect of the transformer on the people. When obtained data was evaluated, it was determined that the environmental noise and vibration caused by the transformer exceeded the limit values given in the Environmental Noise Assessment and Management Regulation and reduction required. In this context, by using INSUL Version 6.2 Program produced by Marshall Day Acoustics Company, insulation work was performed to reduce environmental noise and vibration in the volume where the transformer was located.
