Transformers are a critical component in power systems for transmission and distribution. An increase in temperature can not only affect the normal operation of power equipment but also pose a threat to its safety. Therefore, accurately calculating the temperature field of transformers is essential for ensuring their safe and stable operation. Taking the SCB14–800/10 dry-type distribution transformer as an example, this study analyzes its heat generation and dissipation characteristics and the principle of magnetic thermal flow coupling. Using the COMSOL multiphysics simulation platform, a magnetic thermal flow coupling analysis was conducted to determine the temperature distribution of the core, windings, and clamping components. Finally, a self-written program based on the finite element method was developed to solve the steady-state heat conduction problem. This program was applied to the temperature calculation of the transformer core and verified its effectiveness and accuracy.

摘要

Transformers are a critical component in power systems for transmission and distribution. An increase in temperature can not only affect the normal operation of power equipment but also pose a threat to its safety. Therefore, accurately calculating the temperature field of transformers is essential for ensuring their safe and stable operation. Taking the SCB14–800/10 dry-type distribution transformer as an example, this study analyzes its heat generation and dissipation characteristics and the principle of magnetic thermal flow coupling. Using the COMSOL multiphysics simulation platform, a magnetic thermal flow coupling analysis was conducted to determine the temperature distribution of the core, windings, and clamping components. Finally, a self-written program based on the finite element method was developed to solve the steady-state heat conduction problem. This program was applied to the temperature calculation of the transformer core and verified its effectiveness and accuracy.
