Resumen
With the wide application of power electronic devices and nonlinear loads, the resulting inter-harmonic pollution is becoming more and more serious in the power system. As important equipment in power systems, transformers have always been the focus of research. However, there are few studies on the abnormal increase in vibration and noise caused by inter-harmonic excitation. In this work, a transformer core vibration and noise measurement platform that can generate arbitrary inter-harmonic excitations was built. The real-time vibration displacement waveforms of the core model under normal and inter-harmonic conditions were experimentally measured as well as the surrounding noise level amplitude and spectrum analysis result. The influence law of excitation of intermediate harmonic content and frequency on core vibration displacement and surrounding sound pressure level was summarized. The work of this paper lays a theoretical foundation for studying the vibration and noise of power transformers and other equipment under inter-harmonics.
