Axial Vibrations Modal Analysis and Computation of Power Transformer Windings Under Different Levels of Pre-Compression
Abstract—In this paper the discussions on the axial vibrations windings is built, it is shown in Fig. 1. The theory of an efficient
modal of power transformer windings under different levels of model structure for accommodating these requirements is presented.
pre-compression through experiment and computation are
presented. The axial vibrations modal of windings was
investigated on the transformer model of windings both
analytically and calculatedly, this proves that the changes of pre-
compression on the windings have effects on their natural
frequencies and derives their relation, it shows good agreement
with experimental results, which provides the experimental and
theoretical foundation for the design of transformer windings.
