Noise is defined as an unwanted sound that humans can hear. Transformer noise is produced mainly by the core and windings. It is important to reduce the transformer noise, especially in urban areas. This article provides a theoretical background of the transformer noise origins and practical details on how to reduce it.
Transformers emit noise during operation, where the magnitude of noise increases with their MVA capacity and voltage class
Transformer noise is a very important factor in the transformer design process, especially for transformers installed in the urban areas. What are the origins of transformer noise? How to reduce and mitigate transformer noise? Answers to those questions and much more practical advice are given here in this article.
