Why is the transformer coil insulation?
Because the transformer is used in different environments, according to different insulation level selection, can extend the life of the transformer.
Transformer (Transformer) is the use of electromagnetic induction principle to change the AC voltage of the device, the main components are primary coil, secondary coil and core (core). The main functions are: voltage conversion, current conversion, impedance conversion, isolation, voltage regulator (magnetic saturation transformer) and so on.
According to the purpose can be divided into: power transformers and special transformers (electric furnace change, rectifier, frequency test transformer, voltage regulator, mine transformer, audio transformers, IF transformers, high-frequency transformers, impact transformers, instrument transformers, electronic transformers , Reactors, transformers, etc.). Circuit symbols commonly used as the beginning of the number. Example: T01, T201 and so on.
Insulation grade refers to the heat resistance of the insulation material used, divided into A, E, B, F, H grade. Allowable temperature rise is the limit of the temperature of the motor compared to the ambient temperature. Insulation temperature Class A Class E Class B Class F Class H Maximum allowable temperature (° C) 105 120 130 155 180 Winding temperature limit (K) 60 75 80 100 125 Performance reference temperature (° C) 80 95 100 120 145 Generators and other electrical equipment, the insulation material is the most weak link. Insulation material is particularly susceptible to high temperature and accelerated aging and damage. Different insulation materials have different heat resistance, the use of different insulation materials, electrical equipment, the ability to withstand high temperatures are different. So the general electrical equipment is specified in the maximum temperature of its work. According to the different insulation materials to withstand the high temperature of its ability to set the maximum allowable temperature of seven, according to the temperature size were: Y, A, E, B, F, H and C. Their allowable operating temperatures are: 90,105,120,130,155,180 and 180 ℃ above. Therefore, Class B insulation indicates that the insulation temperature of the generator used is 130 ° C. The user should ensure that the generator insulation does not exceed the temperature during operation of the generator to ensure proper operation of the generator. Insulation class for the B-class insulation material, mainly by the mica, asbestos, glass fiber by the organic glue or impregnated from. Commonly used B-class insulation materials are PVC glass fiber casing (yellow wax tube), 6520 composite paper, DMD insulation paper.
It is easy to understand because the transformer is used in different environments, according to different insulation level selection, can extend the life of the transformer
