[0002] As a core component of an electron accelerator system, the stable operation of the transformer is crucial for the continuity and reliability of the system. However, during long-term operation, various factors such as changes in magnetic induction force, wear of mechanical parts, and abnormal oil flow conditions may cause abnormal noises within the transformer cylinder. These abnormal noises are often precursors to internal transformer faults. Traditional methods for detecting transformer abnormal noises mainly rely on manual auscultation and experience-based judgment, which are inefficient and cannot achieve long-term monitoring, failing to meet the requirements for accurate and comprehensive fault early warning.
