Numerical study on temperature rise and mechanical properties of winding in oil-immersed transformer

In the present paper, the electromagnetic-fluid-thermal-mechanical stress coupling process in an oil-immersed transformer is numerical studied with finite element method. The relationship between electromagnetic force and flux leakage, interaction of losses, temperature and oil flow, and the influence of electromagnetic force and temperature rise on mechanical characteristics of coil are carefully analyzed. Firstly, the leakage flux is mainly...
