Sažetak

This paper presents a numerical calculation method that allows for the simulation of the mechanical and acoustic
behaviour of a transformer tank. In order to simulate the vibroacoustic behaviour of an oil-immersed power transformer, an
acoustic-mechanical coupled three-dimensional finite-element method model of a transformer was setup. The simulation is
performed in the frequency domain at frequencies adjacent to the driving frequency. A vibration source closely resembling the
actual active part of the transformer is placed within the oil-filled tank that mechanically represents an acoustic cavity with
flexible steel boundaries. Via a fluid-structure interface the vibration source generates acoustic waves in the oil medium which
partly transmit through the tank wall structure and partly reflect within the steel transformer tank again via a fluid-structure
interface. The vibrating tank is then coupled with the external acoustic air medium and the corresponding sound field is
calculated and evaluated according to IEC 60076-10. This numerical computation allows for the direct calculation of the
complete vibrational and acoustic behaviour of a transformer.
