Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of marine transformer technology, specifically relating to a high-temperature detection alarm circuit for marine transformers. Background Technology

[0002] Marine transformers are electrical equipment used on ships. With the increasing size of ships and the application of electric propulsion, the frequency of transformer malfunctions in marine electrical systems has changed significantly. In recent years, the number of ships using AC high-voltage power systems has been increasing, and ship specifications typically recommend a nominal system voltage of 3-15kV for ship AC high-voltage systems. Transformer cooling methods mainly include natural cooling or forced air cooling, oil immersion cooling, and contact forced cooling. However, as the continuous operating time of the transformer increases, no matter what cooling method is used, it is impossible to completely dissipate the generated heat. This leads to continuous heat accumulation, causing the transformer temperature to exceed the normal range, ultimately causing machine or equipment failure. Therefore, there is an urgent need for transformer temperature detection circuits to monitor the transformer temperature in real time. Utility Model Content
