Cooling Methods Available For Trans Former, We Will Now Explain One by One

The main source of heat in transformers is copper loss from current, which must be dissipated to prevent damage from high temperatures; external cooling systems are used to accelerate heat dissipation from transformers and control temperatures within safe limits to extend insulation life.

The main source of heat generation in transformer is its copper loss or I 2R loss.

Although there are other factors contribute heat


in transformer such as hysteresis and eddy current losses but contribution of I2R loss dominate them. If this heat is not
dissipated properly, the temperature of the transformer will rise continually which may cause damages in paper insulation and
liquid insulation medium of transformer. So it is essential to control the temperature with in permissible limit to ensure the
long life of transformer by reducing thermal degradation of its insulation system. In electrical power transformer we use
external transformer cooling system to accelerate the dissipation rate of heat of transformer. There are different transformer
cooling methods available for trans former, we will now explain one by one.
