Magnetostatic Analysis of Three-phase Transformer
The goal is to simulate and analyze the behaviour and performance of a three-phase transformer and its various characteristics and parameters. By simulating and analyzing different parameters, it is possible to understand how the transformer will perform under different conditions and to identify any potential issues or improvements that may be needed.
Work done
-
A three-phase transformer was created and simulated using the Ansys Maxwell software, taking into consideration that the model would be placed in a vacuum. The analysis was performed to accurately predict the behavior and performance of the transformer under these conditions.
-
The analysis conducted a thorough examination of several parameters, including the coefficient of coupling, the self-inductance of a specific phase, and the mutual inductance between different phases. In addition to these measurements, energy plots and flux density distribution plots were generated at both 22 degrees Celsius and 40 degrees Celsius to fully understand the behavior of the transformer under different temperature conditions.
Results
Upon conducting the analysis, it was discovered that the coefficient of coupling exhibited the same variation in response to current for different phases at both 22 degrees Celsius and 40 degrees Celsius. Similarly, the self-inductance of different phases and the mutual inductance between different phases were found to be consistent at both temperature levels. However, it was observed that energy parameters and flux density plots displayed differences when analyzed at 22 degrees Celsius compared to when they were analyzed at 40 degrees Celsius.​
