Abstract

While the whole weight of magnetic shields provided in a tank of a transformer is reduced, eddy current loss by magnetic flux leaked from a winding is reduced. A transformer is configured using an iron core having an iron core leg and an iron core yoke, windings wound around the iron core leg, a tank having the iron core and the windings therein, and a first magnetic shield and second magnetic shields formed by laminating silicon steel sheets inside the tank. The first magnetic shield is arranged opposite to the windings, the second magnetic shields are arranged between the first magnetic shield and the tank, and the first magnetic shield and the second magnetic shields are fixed to the tank by different support members.

Claims (20)

1. A transformer comprising:

an iron core having an iron core leg and an iron core yoke;

windings wound around the iron core leg;

a tank having the iron core and the windings therein; and

magnetic shields formed by laminating silicon steel sheets inside the tank,

wherein the magnetic shields are configured using, at least, a first magnetic shield and second magnetic shields;

the first magnetic shield is arranged opposite to the windings;

the second magnetic shields are arranged between the first magnetic shield and the tank; and

the first magnetic shield and the second magnetic shields are fixed to the tank by different support members, and

wherein lower ends of the second magnetic shields are arranged at second magnetic shield lower support bases fixed to the tank and are supported by second magnetic shield lower covers fixed to the second magnetic shield lower support bases, and

wherein the second magnetic shields are fixed while sandwiched between second magnetic shield fixing bases fixed to the tank and second magnetic shield covers above the second magnetic shield lower support bases and the second magnetic shield lower covers.

2. The transformer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the windings include a high-voltage side winding, a low-voltage side winding, and a voltage switching winding;

the voltage switching winding is arranged on the side nearest to the tank; and

the second magnetic shields are arranged at positions near the voltage switching winding around the middle portion of the tank in the vertical direction.

3. The transformer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the windings include a high-voltage side winding, a low-voltage side winding, and a voltage switching winding;

the voltage switching winding is arranged on the side nearer to the iron core than the high-voltage side winding and the low-voltage side winding; and

the second magnetic shields are separately arranged in the vertical direction of the tank.

4. The transformer according to claim 1 , wherein support members of the first magnetic shield are arranged opposite to reinforced structural members provided on the outer surface of the tank across the tank.
