Influences of temperature of the core of the three-phase transformer on idling losses

 

The provisions. In article results of modeling of influence of temperature of the core on losses of idling of the power three-phase transformer are resulted. Modeling is executed for nominal phase voltage 200, 210, 220, 230 and 240 V. On the basis of the received experimental data the conclusion that the temperature of magnetic system of the tested transformer influences value of losses of idling is drawn. With growth of temperature of magnetic system total losses of active power of idling on all three phases of the tested transformer decrease on the average for 2 %.

 

Key words: the three-phase transformer, losses of active electric energy, magnetic system.

 

Electrical networks represent set of mains transformers and transmission lines. Electric mains transformers are the most responsible elements in the scheme of any electric substation. The general number of the electric transformers established on substations of power systems, the industrial and agroindustrial enterprises, in city and rural electric systems, are estimated hundreds thousand. This results from the fact that the electric power on a way from generators of power stations to electroreceivers - to electric power consumers, as a rule, is repeatedly transformed [1].

Actual losses, that is difference between released in a network and the paid electric power, it is integrated have four components [2, 3]: technical losses of the electric power; an auxiliary power requirement of substations and ice fusion; the losses of the electric power caused by tool errors of her measurement (tool losses); commercial losses.

Losses in mains transformers develop of two components: short circuit losses (losses in copper) and idling losses (losses in a steel). In distributive electrical networks with upper voltage 6 – 10 kV a considerable component of technological losses of the electric power are losses of idling of transformers [4].

The core temperature influences importance of losses of the idling caused by vortical currents. Deviation of losses of idling owing to temperature change can be considerable [5]. So at temperature measurement at 21 °Ñ and at 50 °Ñ on the transformer 50 MVA, 110 / 10,5 kV decrease in losses with temperature growth has been noted. At a nominal induction 1,77 Tl decrease has made 1,2 %, and at an induction 1,6 Tl – 3,3 % [6].

Now errors of definition of losses of idling of the transformer are considerable, as they pay off by the simplified techniques. The real estimation of these losses by results of tests and development of necessary recommendations is necessary [4].

In materials [7] it is specified, that «at an establishment of specifications of losses of the electric power in electrical networks the technical condition of objects of an electronetwork economy on the basis of inspections and accounts» can be considered. In accounts of loss of idling of transformers are accepted, as a rule, equal to passport importance, but during operation term real losses of idling change.

According to [8]: «It is supposed to define for mains transformers (autotransformers) of loss of idling taking into account their technical condition and service life by measurements of these losses by the methods applied on manufacturers at an establishment of nameplate data of transformers (autotransformers)».

In the instruction [8] it is underlined, that it is expedient to include reports of measurements of losses of the idling, received by measurements of these losses by the methods applied on manufacturers.

Selective measurements of losses of idling of working transformers of networks spent(lead) in article [4] 6 – 10 kV and comparison of the importances received in observed data with the rated importances received at recalculation of passport importances by a technique [9, 10] which considers change of size of losses of idling while in service the transformer, testify that real importances of losses of idling for separate transformers can appear as above, and below rated importances.

In a kind specified above the question of specification of influence on losses of idling of the mains transformer of temperature of the core is actual.

According to item 1.2 [11] transformers test with the details established on them and outside emergency devices which can influence results of tests of the transformer. The photo of appearance of the stand for measurement of losses of idling is shown in figure 1.

Fig 1. The photo of appearance of the stand for measurement of losses of idling:

1 – the personal computer; 2, 3, 23 – a laboratory autotransformer; 4, 7, 9, 12, 18, 20, 22 – the jack; 5 – the counter of electric energy multipurpose PSCH-4TM.05MK.04; 6, 11 – the interface device optical USO-2; 8, 19, 21 – the automatic switch; 10 – the counter of electric energy multipurpose PSCH-4TM.05MK.00; 13 – interface AS4 converter; 14 – a measuring instrument-regulator universal eight-channel TRM 138-R; 15 – the transformer of power series TP TP3-380/220-2,5; 16 – a cable the feeding stand in rated voltage 380 V; 17 – the block measuring; 24 – the analyzer of quality of power MI 2792À

As object of research the three-phase transformer of mark TP 3-380/220-2,5, by nominal capacity 2,5 kVA, voltage on a winding of upper voltage 380 V, on a winding of the lowest voltage 220 V, produced 30.09.2016 with factory number ¹ 1054 and corresponding to Specifications 3413-006-47936447-2002 [12] has been accepted.

According to item 1.3 [11] the ambient temperature at tests should be from 10 to 40 °Ñ. The diagram of change of an ambient temperature at tests is shown in figure 2.

Fig 2. The diagram of change of an ambient temperature at tests:

1 – the data received from the gauge of temperature; 2 – the data received from the gauge of temperature, 4th order approximated by a polynom

 

Apparently in figure 2, during test the minimum value of temperature of air has made 13,0 ºÑ, and maximum - 20,3 ºÑ, that corresponds to item 1.3 requirement [11] . Average value of temperature of air for all period of test has made 17,5 ºÑ

According to item 6.1.1 [11], at experience of idling directed on measurement of losses of idling of the tested transformer, brought voltage at tests of three-phase transformers should be practically symmetric under item 6.1.2 [11]. According to item 6.1.2 [11] it is necessary to consider system of linear voltage practically symmetric if each of linear voltage differs no more than on 3 % from an average of arithmetic three linear voltage of system. The diagram of change of value of an average of arithmetic three linear voltage of system during test carrying out is shown in figure 3.

Fig 3. The diagram of change of value of an average of arithmetic three linear voltage of system during test carrying out:

1 – the values calculated on the basis of data about linear voltage of windings of the higher voltage of the tested transformer, received from the counter

PSCH-4TM.05MK.00; 2 – the values calculated on the basis of data about linear voltage of windings of the higher voltage, 4-th order approximated by a polynom

 

Average value of an average of arithmetic three linear voltage of system for all period of test has made 381,6 V.

The diagram of a deviation of each of linear voltage concerning value of an average of arithmetic three linear voltage of system is resulted in figure 4.

During test the minimum deviation of value of linear voltage concerning value of an average of arithmetic three linear voltage of system has made – 1,335 % for linear voltage between phases L2 and L3, maximum – 1,189 % for linear voltage between phases L1 and L2.

Considering the deviations of values of linear voltage resulted above value concerning values of an average of arithmetic three linear voltage of system during test carrying out it is possible to draw a conclusion, that each of linear voltage differs much less, than on 3 % from an average of arithmetic three linear voltage of system. Accordingly, it is necessary to consider system of linear voltage practically symmetric.

Fig 4. The diagram of a deviation of values of linear voltage concerning values of an average of arithmetic three linear voltage of system during carrying out of the test, 4-th order approximated by a polynom:

1 – linear voltage between phases L1 and L2; 2 – linear voltage between phases L2 and L3; 3 – linear voltage between phases L3 and L1

 

According to item 6.1.1 [11] at experience ÕÕ necessary for definition of losses ÕÕ of the tested transformer, brought voltage should be nominal frequency with a maximum deviation in limits ± 1 %. The diagram of change of value of frequency of voltage brought to the tested transformer during test carrying out is shown in figure 5.

Apparently in figure 5, during test the minimum value of frequency of voltage brought to the tested transformer made 49,97 Hz, and maximum – 50,03 Hz. Average value of frequency of voltage brought to the tested transformer for all period of test has made 50,002 Hz.

The deviation of value of frequency of voltage brought to the tested transformer from rating value 50 Hz on the average during test has made of 0,004 %, that on three order 1 % there is less. Hence, item 6.1.1 [11] requirement is carried out.

 

Fig 5. The diagram of change of value of frequency of voltage brought to the tested transformer during test carrying out:

1 – the values of frequency measured by counter PSCH-4TM-05MK; 2 – the values of frequency approximated by a polynom of 4-th order

 

The diagram of change of values of losses of the active power measured at performance of experience of idling on the tested transformer during carrying out of test, is shown in figure 6.

Fig 6. The diagram of change of values of losses of the active power measured at performance of experience of idling on the tested transformer during carrying out of test, 4-th order approximated by a polynom:

1 – phases L1; 2 – phases L2; 3 – phases L3;

4 – total losses on all three phases of the tested transformer

 

At definition of losses of idling of the transformer, definition of influence of temperature of the core on change of losses of idling was the primary goal of the spent tests. The diagram of change of values of total losses of active power on all three phases of the tested transformer, measured at performance of experience of idling, from average temperature of magnetic system is shown in figure 7.

Fig 7. The diagram of change of values of total losses of active power on all three phases of the tested transformer, measured at performance of experience of idling, from average temperature of the magnetic system, 1-st order approximated by a polynom

 

During test the minimum value of total losses of active power on all three phases of the tested transformer, measured at performance of experience of idling has made 103,282 W, and maximum – 104,814 W. Hence, at change of average temperature of magnetic system from 13 ºÑ to 45 ºÑ, i.e. on 32 ºÑ or on 246 %, change of total losses of active power on all three phases of the tested transformer, measured at performance of experience of idling has made – 1,461 %.

Similar experiments have been spent for voltage 200, 210, 230 and 240 V. Following the results of their carrying out similar results have been received. The schedule of change of values of total losses of active power on all three phases of the tested transformer, measured at performance of experience of idling at conditional voltage 200, 210, 220, 230, 240 V, from average temperature of the magnetic system, 1st order approximated by a polynom is shown in figure 8.

Fig 8. The diagram of change of values of total losses of active power on all three phases of the tested transformer, measured at performance of experience of idling, from average temperature of the magnetic system, 1st order approximated by a polynom:

1 – at conditional voltage 200 V; 2 – at conditional voltage 210 V;

3 – at conditional voltage 220 V; 4 – at conditional voltage 230 V;

5 – at conditional voltage 240 V

 

Hence, as well as in [5, 6] the temperature of magnetic system of the tested transformer influences value of losses of idling. With growth of temperature of magnetic system total losses of active power of idling on all three phases of the tested transformer decrease.

Conclusion.

The temperature of magnetic system of the tested transformer influences value of losses of idling. With growth of temperature of magnetic system total losses of active power of idling on all three phases of the tested transformer decrease on the average for 2 %.
