1. Why should the iron core of the transformer be grounded?
Transformer core grounding is for safety and electromagnetic compatibility considerations.
On the one hand, grounding the transformer core prevents contact voltages caused by ground faults, which can pose a shock hazard to humans. Because when a ground fault occurs on one side of the transformer, the iron core on the other side may have a voltage in contact with the earth. If it is not grounded, this voltage cannot be released.
On the other hand, grounding the transformer core can also reduce electromagnetic radiation interference, especially for radio equipment and communication systems. This is because the current will generate a magnetic field in the iron core. If the iron core is not grounded, this magnetic field may leak into the surrounding environment and interfere with the normal operation of other equipment.
In conclusion, grounding the transformer core is a protective measure against shock hazards and electromagnetic interference.
2. Why do transformers use silicon steel sheets as iron cores?
Transformers use silicon steel sheets as iron cores because silicon steel sheets have high magnetic permeability and low resistance.
In a transformer, the iron core mainly undertakes the role of conducting magnetic flux. Therefore, the magnetic permeability of the iron core is very critical. Silicon steel sheet is a specially treated steel with very high magnetic permeability, can effectively conduct magnetic flux, and can reduce the loss of magnetic flux and eddy current loss.
In addition, the transformer will produce electromagnetic induction phenomenon during the working process, which will generate eddy current in the iron core. These eddy currents cause loss of energy and heating of the core, reducing the efficiency of the transformer. The silicon steel sheet has low resistance characteristics, which can reduce eddy current loss and improve the efficiency of the transformer.
Therefore, using silicon steel sheet as the material of the transformer core can improve the efficiency of the transformer, reduce energy loss, and reduce heat generation of the transformer, thereby prolonging the service life of the transformer.
3. What is the protection scope of gas protection?
In oil-immersed transformers, the scope of gas protection inside the transformer mainly includes the gas content in the transformer oil.
Normally, the oil in an oil-immersed transformer is used for insulation and cooling, but when the transformer fails or ages inside, gases such as gas and hydrogen will be generated, which will lead to an increase in the gas content in the oil. If the gas content in the oil is too high, it will cause the insulation performance of the oil to decrease, which will cause the transformer to malfunction or even explode.
Therefore, in order to protect the safe operation of the transformer, it is necessary to monitor and control the gas content in the transformer oil. Generally speaking, the gas relay is a commonly used gas monitoring device in oil. The gas relay can monitor the change of the gas content in the oil, and send out an alarm signal when the gas concentration exceeds a certain threshold, so as to carry out repair and maintenance in time.
In short, the gas protection range inside the transformer mainly refers to the gas content in the transformer oil, which needs to be monitored and controlled by devices such as gas relays to protect the safe operation of the transformer.

The way of cleaning can be used to remove the dirt and sundries inside the cooler to restore the normal operation of the cooler.
Strengthen monitoring and maintenance: In order to avoid the adverse impact of the failure of the main transformer cooler on the transformer, the monitoring and maintenance of the cooler can be strengthened. Regularly inspect and maintain the cooler, and find and solve problems in time, which can improve the reliability and stability of the cooler.
Temporary emergency measures: During the troubleshooting period, some temporary emergency measures can be taken, such as reducing the load of the main transformer, increasing ventilation, etc., to reduce the temperature of the transformer and ensure the safe operation of the transformer.
In short, for the failure of the main transformer cooler, it is necessary to take timely measures to deal with it to ensure the normal operation and safety of the transformer. The specific treatment method needs to be selected according to the structure of the cooler and the cause of the failure.
5. What are the consequences of parallel operation of transformers that do not meet the parallel operation conditions?
Parallel operation of transformers that do not meet the parallel operation conditions may lead to the following consequences:
Voltage instability: Different transformers may have different electrical parameters, such as transformation ratio, resistance, inductance, etc. If these transformers with different parameters are forced to run in parallel, the overall electrical parameters after paralleling may be unstable, thereby affecting the quality of power supply.
Uneven load distribution: If the transformers with uneven load distribution are forced to run in parallel, different transformers may bear different loads, thus affecting the service life and stability of the transformers.
Excessive temperature rise: If different transformers are operated in parallel, their heat dissipation conditions and methods may be different, which may cause excessive temperature rise of some transformers, and may even damage the transformer.
Safety accidents: If different transformers are operated in parallel, there may be differences in their connection methods and protection measures, which may lead to electrical failures or safety accidents.
Therefore, in order to ensure the normal operation and safety of transformers, it is necessary to select appropriate transformers for parallel operation according to the actual situation, strictly abide by the relevant parallel operation conditions and requirements, and ensure that the transformers match each other, complement each other, and work together to improve the quality of power supply. and stability.
7. What causes the transformer to make abnormal noise?
There can be a number of reasons why a transformer may be making unusual noises, here are some possible causes:

Impurities or gases in the oil: Impurities or gases in the oil inside the transformer may cause unstable oil flow or air oscillations, resulting in abnormal noise.
Mechanical failure: Mechanical failures inside the transformer, such as equipment failures such as transformer cooling fans or pumps, may cause abnormal sounds.
Loose or leaky pipes: Loose or leaky pipes inside the transformer can cause air oscillations or unstable gas flow, which can produce unusual noises.
External environmental factors: Factors such as excessive temperature of the transformer operating environment or noise interference may also cause abnormal sounds.
Therefore, if the transformer makes abnormal noise, it is necessary to check and repair the transformer in time. The specific maintenance method needs to be selected according to the cause of the abnormal sound and the specific situation in order to restore the normal operation and stability of the transformer. At the same time, during the installation, operation and maintenance of the transformer, attention should be paid to environmental temperature, humidity, noise and other factors to avoid adverse effects on the transformer.

10. Why does the current source inverter need a larger transformer capacity?
Current source inverter is a common type of inverter. Its control method adopts current loop control, which has the advantages of high precision and strong adaptability, and is widely used in industrial production. Due to the working characteristics of the current source inverter, a large transformer capacity is required for the following reasons:
The current source inverter adopts the intermediate inductance: the current source inverter adopts the intermediate inductor, which can realize the phase difference between the output voltage and the current, so as to realize the frequency conversion control. However, since the intermediate inductor needs to withstand large current and voltage, it is necessary to select a transformer with a larger capacity to ensure the normal operation of the inductor.
Current source inverter has a higher power factor: The current source inverter has a higher power factor, which can achieve higher power factor correction, thereby reducing grid harmonic pollution. However, since a higher power factor requires larger capacitor support, a transformer with a larger capacity needs to be selected to meet the power supply requirements of the capacitor.
Current source inverter needs additional power supply: The circuit of current source inverter needs additional power supply to ensure the normal operation of the current loop control. These additional power sources need sufficient capacity to support, so a transformer with a larger capacity needs to be selected to meet the power supply requirements.
Therefore, the current source inverter needs a larger transformer capacity to ensure the normal operation of the intermediate inductor, support the power supply of the capacitor and meet the power supply requirements. When selecting a transformer, it needs to be selected according to the actual electrical parameters and performance requirements to ensure the normal operation and stability of the inverter.
