In the selection of transformer raw materials, Leilang Electric has always selected high-standard H-class enameled wires and brand-new silicon steel sheets to ensure the reliable quality of transformer finished products. Here, let's briefly popularize why transformers need to be rust-proof? What kind of harm will occur if non-new second-hand rusted silicon steel sheets are used.
1. Rusting of silicon steel sheets may cause short circuits between sheets. Short circuits between sheets due to rust increase the loss of the iron core and reduce the efficiency of the transformer.
2. Rusting of silicon steel sheets will cause increased losses. In the previous article, we introduced the hysteresis loss and eddy current loss in the iron loss of silicon steel sheets. Rusting will aggravate these two losses, especially eddy current loss. Because the induced current generated in the iron core increases, it increases heat and energy loss. Severe cases will cause the iron core to overheat, reduce the insulation performance of the transformer, and shorten the service life.
3. Rusting of silicon steel sheets may also affect the magnetic conductivity of silicon steel sheets, thereby affecting the normal operation of the transformer.
It can be seen that rusting of silicon steel sheets seriously affects the performance of the transformer and is prone to safety accidents. Therefore, when choosing a transformer supplier, you must choose a regular manufacturer to order, and if conditions permit, you need to conduct an on-site factory visit to ensure that it is a genuine and qualified product.
In addition to using brand new silicon steel sheets, in daily maintenance and care, it is also necessary to carry out corresponding anti-rust work according to the on-site environmental conditions. The requirements are:
1. Regularly check whether the appearance of the transformer is bright and clean, free of foreign matter and suspended impurities;
2. In relatively humid seasons and locations, check whether the ambient humidity of the transformer is abnormally humid and dry it;
3. Use anti-rust oil paint compatible with impregnation paint to paint the core cut to improve the anti-rust ability;
4. According to the local climate characteristics, formulate corresponding inspection and maintenance work plans.
