Abstract

This paper presents a FEM analysis on impact of temperature variation on electrical parameters in a single phase shell type transformer. The designed transformer model is supplied by a constant current source. The open circuit voltage and core losses have been measured at two different temperatures of 300 K and 600 K respectively. From the analysis it is observed that the secondary voltage losses are increased with respect to temperature at a constant frequency of 50 Hz. The FEM studies are carried out by using QuickField software with more than 2.8 K nodes to improve the accuracy of measurements.
