    Shell transformer core structure analysis

    Shell transformer core adopts ** “winding surrounded by + magnetic circuit around” core structure, mainly by the heart column, side yoke, iron yoke ** three core parts, the whole is horizontally placed stacked piece structure, the heart column for the rectangular cross-section, each heart column on both sides of the side of the yoke, the iron yoke and the side of the yoke connected to the formation of a closed magnetic circuit, the transformer winding The transformer winding is completely wrapped in it.

    Magnetic circuit: closed magnetic circuit design, the magnetic flux from the yoke into the core column, through the side yoke back to form a cycle, the magnetic path is shorter, less magnetoresistance, effectively improve the efficiency of magnetic energy conversion, reduce the leakage rate.

    Stacked sheet stacking: Adopting the full diagonal seam stacking process, the silicon steel sheets are stacked in interlocking layers to reduce the air gap in the magnetic circuit, increase the magnetic permeability, and at the same time reduce the vibration and noise of the core.

    Winding position: the winding nested in the core column, by the side of the yoke and the yoke completely surrounded, the core of the winding to form a mechanical protection and magnetic shielding double effect, not only to enhance the stability of the winding, but also to reduce electromagnetic interference.
