Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transformers, in particular to a transformer with a balanced winding. Background Art
[0002] For power transformers of a certain capacity, when both the high-voltage and low-voltage windings are star-connected, a separate delta-connected balancing winding is necessary to provide a path for the third-harmonic current to flow, suppress the third-harmonic flux in the transformer core, and ensure the sinusoidal nature of the three-phase voltage. This balancing winding, designed solely to smooth the third-harmonic flux, is traditionally placed at the innermost end of the windings. That is, the windings are arranged in the following order, from the innermost to the outermost: balancing winding, low-voltage winding, high-voltage winding, and regulating winding. The disadvantage of this winding arrangement is that, since the balancing winding is placed at the innermost end of the windings, the distance from the core to the other windings (except the balancing winding) is significantly increased. Consequently, the average radius of both the low-voltage and high-voltage windings increases, along with their average length and DC resistance. The load losses of a transformer are positively correlated with the DC resistance of the high-voltage and low-voltage windings. Therefore, under the same conditions, the transformer load losses increase when the balancing winding is placed inside the transformer compared to a conventional two-winding transformer.
[0003] In addition, for transformers with balanced windings, the balanced windings do not carry three-phase loads, and the current density design value is usually relatively high. At the same time, the balance-related impedance needs to be increased to meet the short-circuit requirements. As mentioned above, for transformers with balanced windings, the coils are conventionally arranged from the inside out in the order of balanced, low-voltage, high-voltage, and voltage-regulating coils. Because the current density of the balanced winding is relatively high, in order to improve the short-circuit capability of the balanced winding, it is necessary to increase the impedance of the balanced winding by connecting a reactor in series at the end of the balanced winding. However, this solution results in a higher transformer cost and a larger body size.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for an improved transformer, which eliminates the need for an additional series reactor for a transformer with a balanced winding, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the transformer and reducing the size of the transformer body. Utility Model Content

[0007] In this way, the transformer of the present invention makes the voltage adjustment into a coarse and fine adjustment design, with the inside as coarse adjustment and the outside as fine adjustment, and the balance winding is placed outside and arranged axially with the fine adjustment coil, thereby increasing the impedance of the balance winding, removing the series inductor, reducing the manufacturing cost of the transformer, and reducing the size of the transformer body.
[0008] Preferably, the fine tuning winding includes a first fine tuning winding and a second fine tuning winding, and the first fine tuning winding, the balance winding, and the second fine tuning winding are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the iron core.

[0012] In this way, the transformer of the present invention can reduce the manufacturing cost of the transformer by sequentially arranging the first balance winding, the first fine tuning winding, the second fine tuning winding, and the second balance winding along the axial direction of the iron core.
[0013] Preferably, the first balance winding is connected in parallel with the second balance winding.
[0014] In this way, the transformer of the present invention can increase the impedance of the balanced winding by connecting the first balanced winding and the second balanced winding in parallel.

[0038] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0039] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.
[0040] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, directional words such as "up, down, top, bottom" are usually used with reference to the directions shown in the drawings, or with reference to the components themselves in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above directional words are not used to limit the present invention.
[0041] In order to further understand the technical solution of the present invention, the basic concepts involved in the present invention are briefly described:
[0042] Balanced windings are commonly used in high-voltage transformers in power systems, particularly where harmonic current reduction and system stability improvement are required. In some specialized applications, such as industrial automation and power electronics, balanced windings are also used to reduce harmonic currents and improve system reliability.
[0043] The placement of the balance winding on the core has a significant impact on transformer performance. Here are some specific effects and their causes:
[0044] 1) Reduce harmonic currents: Balanced windings provide a channel for higher harmonics, improving the induced electromotive force waveform. Different connection methods for three-phase transformer windings affect no-load losses and no-load current. Balanced windings ensure that the transformer's output voltage is close to a sine wave, reducing the impact of harmonic currents and thus improving power supply quality.
[0045] 2) Improve transformer efficiency: Balanced windings help improve transformer efficiency by reducing harmonic losses. Harmonic currents generate additional losses in the transformer, and balanced windings reduce these losses by providing a path for harmonic currents.
[0046] 3) Reduce electromagnetic interference: Balanced windings can suppress electromagnetic interference and improve circuit performance. The winding arrangement of the transformer affects the distribution of its electromagnetic field. A reasonable arrangement can reduce electromagnetic interference and make the circuit more stable and reliable.
[0047] 4) Improved thermal performance: The layout of balanced windings requires consideration of heat dissipation. The heat dissipation performance of the windings directly affects the thermal stability and life of the transformer. Proper layout ensures that the windings can effectively dissipate heat during operation and avoid overheating.
[0048] 5) Reduce vibration and noise: The layout of transformer windings affects their vibration characteristics. The axial and radial vibrations of the windings have a significant impact on the overall performance of the transformer. Proper layout can reduce vibration and noise, improving the operational stability of the transformer.
[0049] 6) Improve insulation performance: The layout of the balanced winding requires consideration of insulation issues. The choice of insulation material and the layout between the winding and the core will affect the insulation performance of the transformer. Proper layout can improve insulation strength and reduce the risk of short circuits and arcing.
[0050] In order to realize a transformer with a balanced winding, the utility model makes the voltage regulation into a coarse and fine adjustment design, with the coarse adjustment on the inside and the fine adjustment on the outside, and places the balanced winding outside and arranged axially with the fine adjustment coil, thereby increasing the impedance of the balanced winding, removing the series inductor, reducing the manufacturing cost of the transformer, and reducing the size of the transformer body.
