Improvement of T-joint part constructions in three-phase transformer cores by using direct loss analysis with E&S model

Abstract

This paper presents the effects of the joint method in the T-joint of three-phase transformer cores on iron losses. The effects of joints on the decrease of core loss have been analyzed by using FEM with E&S model, considering the hysteresis of vector magnetic properties. As a result, we can improve the T-joint part constructions to reduce iron losses in the three-phase transformer cores.
