High-Impact-Resistant Special Transformer Solution

07/28/2025

Core Challenge Identification
In demanding applications such as ship propulsion, rail transit traction power supply, and heavy-duty mining equipment, special transformers perpetually face dual threats:

  • Electrical Stress:​ (>100 kA short-circuit current impact, >30% harmonic distortion rate, millisecond-level voltage surges/sags)
  • Mechanical Stress:​ (continuous >5g vibration acceleration, instantaneous shock >15g).

Traditional designs often lead to irreversible failures like winding plastic deformation, insulation layer fracture, and core displacement. This solution achieves structural breakthroughs through systematic innovation.

Core Technology Implementation Path

Ⅰ. Ultra-Strong Short-Circuit Defense System (Withstand Peak >150 kA)

Technology Module

Innovative Implementation Scheme

Precise Electromagnetic Force Control

Dynamic simulation of axial/radial short-circuit forces based on 3D magnetic-mechanical coupling FEA (ANSYS Maxwell + Mechanical)

Reinforced Winding Structure

Utilize self-bonding transposed conductors (CTE, tensile strength ≥220 MPa) or full-copper foil windings to eliminate conductor internal stress difference

Compression System Revolution

Four-dimensional pre-stressed clamping process (pre-compression force ≥3 MPa) + carbon fiber composite pressure plates (compressive strength 500 MPa)

Explosion-Resistant Tank Design

16mm thick steel plate tank body + annular stiffening structure, passing IEC 60076-11 internal arcing test

Example: Marine propulsion transformer passed 48 kA/2s short-circuit test with winding deformation rate <0.1%
