Abstract

Stray losses of three-phase power transformer are predicted using 3D-FEM. The computation is made under harmonic steady state load condition treating the transformer core magnetizing characteristic as non-linear. Various kinds of methods for estimating stray losses due to leakage magnetic field are discussed. In this paper, the eddy current losses in the clamp plates and unshielded transformer tank are obtained modeling them by non-linear surface impedance method. Some results of calculation and measurement are shown
