Abstract:The local temperature of Castresin drytype power transformer overheated can largely reduce the service life of drytype power transformer. In this thesis, a SC9 castresin drytype power transformer whose foiltype LV winding has one air duct and layertype HV winding has no duct is investigated. A simplified 2D axisymmetric physical model of drytype power transformer is established. A finite element analyzing software ANSYS is used to simulate the steadystate temperature field of the castresin drytype power transformer. This thesis also establishes and analyzes the drytype transformers’ equivalent thermal circuit model by using the analytic method of thermal circuit. The transient temperature field and the steadystate temperature field of the drytype power transformer are respectively solved by using the method of thermal circuit based on measured surrounding air temperature, furthermore, a computer program based on Visual Basic is developed.
