Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of power transformer technology, specifically relating to a three-phase integrated 220kV low-frequency power transformer. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component of power transmission systems, power transformers utilize the principle of electromagnetic induction to transform AC voltage and current. Changes in the power grid frequency significantly impact power transformers, primarily affecting their core diameter and no-load losses. When the system frequency decreases from the power frequency to lower frequencies, on the one hand, to maintain the same capacity, the core cross-sectional area needs to be increased, resulting in a larger core diameter. This leads to an increase in the size and weight of the transformer body, coils, and tank. On the other hand, it causes a sharp increase in load losses and a decrease in no-load losses.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop solutions to the technical problems caused by the increase in the size and weight of power transformers due to the decrease in frequency, which in turn leads to the limitation of the external dimensions of power transformers and changes in no-load losses, so as to achieve a high-efficiency, compact and miniaturized design of low-frequency power transformers. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a three-phase integrated 220kV low-frequency power transformer. The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A three-phase integrated 220kV low-frequency power transformer includes a core, coils, high-voltage leads, low-voltage leads, an oil tank, high-voltage bushings, low-voltage bushings, and a cooling system. The high-voltage and low-voltage bushings are fixedly installed on the outer side of the top of the oil tank.

The cross-sectional area of the main yoke is 53-58% of the cross-sectional area of the main column of the core, and the cross-sectional areas of the side columns and side yokes are 43-48% of the cross-sectional area of the main column of the core, respectively. The sum of the cross-sectional areas of the main yoke and the side yoke is greater than the cross-sectional area of the main column of the core. The diameter of the core laminations is incremented by 7-10mm. The coils are fitted around the outer periphery of the main column of the core. The coils include low-voltage coils and high-voltage coils.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.
[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment discloses a three-phase integrated 220kV low-frequency power transformer for power transmission systems. The low-frequency power transformer includes an iron core 1, a coil 2, a high-voltage lead 3, a low-voltage lead 9, a high-voltage bushing 7, a low-voltage bushing 19, an oil tank 4, and a cooling system 5.
[0022] The core 1 adopts a three-phase, five-column structure, including three main core columns 15 and two side core columns 13. The diameter of the core 1 is controlled between 900mm and 1670mm, with the core lamination diameter incremented in 7.2mm steps. The number of core stages is designed to be 24-30. The appropriate number of core stages is matched to the diameter of the core 1; the larger the diameter of the core 1, the more core stages are required, in order to ensure that the core cross-section is as close to a circle as possible, thereby optimizing the magnetic circuit.
[0023] The upper and lower ends of the iron core main column 15 are respectively provided with main yokes 14, and the cross-sectional area of the main yoke 14 is optimized to 53~58% of the cross-sectional area of the iron core main column 15. The width of the yoke plate of the main yoke 14 is half the width of the iron core main column 15. The upper and lower ends of the iron core side column 11 are respectively provided with side yokes 12, and the cross-sectional area of the side yoke 12 is 43~48% of the cross-sectional area of the iron core side column 11. The width of the yoke plate of the side yoke 12 is 130mm smaller than the width of the yoke plate of the main yoke 14, which can effectively reduce the magnetic flux density in the iron yoke, and ultimately reduce the no-load loss coefficient to meet the requirement of lower no-load loss.
[0024] Compared to the traditional cross-sectional area, the optimized core of the same diameter in this embodiment increases the effective cross-sectional area of core 1 and core column 15, thus increasing the core filling area under the same circumscribed circle. Given a fixed core area, the optimized core column diameter of core 1 in this embodiment can be reduced by approximately 5-10 mm, which can decrease the amount of raw materials such as copper, iron, and oil used in the transformer, thereby reducing overall material costs.
[0025] Coil 2 is mounted on the outer periphery of the iron core main column 15, including a high-voltage coil and a low-voltage coil. The high-voltage coil adopts an inner screen continuous structure, and the low-voltage coil adopts a continuous structure with an equal ampere-turn arrangement design. The coil wires are made of high-temperature resistant self-adhesive transposed wires, which improves the transformer's short-circuit withstand capability and reduces the additional losses of the coils.
[0026] The leads include a high-voltage lead 3 and a low-voltage lead 9. The high-voltage lead 3 is used to connect the high-voltage coil to the high-voltage bushing 7 located outside the oil tank 4, and the low-voltage lead is used to connect the low-voltage coil to the low-voltage bushing 19 located outside the oil tank 4. In this embodiment, both the high-voltage lead 3 and the low-voltage lead 9 are made of soft copper wire.
[0027] The oil tank 4 adopts an arched roof barrel structure. The outer wall of the oil tank 4 is reinforced with grooved reinforcing ribs to enhance mechanical strength. This structure offers high strength and effectively reduces transformer noise. The cooling system 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the oil tank 4 near the high-voltage bushing 7. The cooling system 5 is connected to the oil tank 4 via a cooling header 6, effectively reducing the weight and footprint of transformer accessories. The cooling system 5 can consist of several evenly arranged air coolers.
[0028] Furthermore, a composite shield consisting of copper shield 8 and magnetic shield 10 is arranged on both the high-voltage and low-voltage sides inside the oil tank 4. The composite shield can reduce stray losses during transformer operation and prevent overheating of structural components during operation. Specifically, the copper shield 8 is located on the upper part and top of the inner wall of the oil tank 4 to prevent overheating of the tank wall near the lead wires; the magnetic shield 10 is located on the lower middle part of the inner wall of the oil tank 4 and extends to both sides with the center of coil 1 as the reference, covering more than 80% of the projected area of coil 1, reducing the leakage flux of coil 1 and thus reducing the risk of overheating of the oil tank 4.
[0029] By installing a cooling system 5 on one side of the high-voltage side and using a composite magnetic shielding design, the heat generation of coil 1 is reduced, thereby optimizing the transformer size.
[0030] The core tie plate 13 is fixedly installed on the core side column 11 and the core main column 15 by multiple layers of polyester binding straps 16. The width of the core tie plate 13 is determined by the width of the last stage of the core. The width of the core tie plate 13 installed on the core main column 15 is greater than the width of the core tie plate 13 installed on the core side column 11. Considering the different weights of transformer bodies with different diameters, using core tie plates 13 of the same thickness would result in some redundancy and waste. Through analysis and verification, combined with existing experience, tie plates of different thicknesses are configured for core laminations of different diameters. Specifically, when the diameter of the core main column 15 is in the range of [900mm, 1300mm], the thickness of the core tie plate 13 is set to 12mm; when the diameter of the core main column 15 is in the range of [1310mm, 1670mm], the thickness of the core tie plate 13 is set to 16mm.
[0031] To ensure the mechanical strength of the core tie plate 13, the core tie plate 13 is designed as a combination structure of a tie plate main board 18 and a tie plate supplementary board 17. The tie plate supplementary board 17 with a thickness of 6mm is welded to both ends of the tie plate main board 18. At the same time, in order to reduce stray losses and improve the operating efficiency of the transformer, slots are uniformly added to the non-contact surfaces of the tie plate supplementary board 17 and the tie plate main board 18. The number of slots is different according to the width of the tie plate supplementary board 17. The slot spacing is 60mm, the slot width is 5mm, and the slot length is the core window height minus 50mm. Care should be taken to avoid the grounding hole of the grounding shield. The tie plate main board 18 and the tie plate supplementary board 17 are both made of low alloy steel Q690C and are chamfered to ensure the core filling rate.
[0032] By optimizing the cross-section of the iron core yoke, reducing the thickness of the tie plate, and changing the material of the tie plate, this embodiment improves the effective cross-sectional area and mechanical strength of the iron core 1.
