radial buckling

Power transformers are inevitably subjected to external short circuit impact during their service period. The electromagnetic force generated by the fault current may cause winding destabilization and collapse. The radial buckling of the inner winding accounts for a considerable proportion. Based on the effective contact of the sticks, the traditional analytical methods ignore the manufacturing deviation and operation impact (MDOI) characterized by assembly gaps and insulation shrinkage.

The inner winding of the power transformer is subjected to uniform compressive stress in the radial direction during the short circuit, which makes circular radial stability a crucial component of reliability. The radial stability evaluation system currently needs more state characteristic judgment quantity considering the manufacturing deviations(MD) and assembly gaps. Thus, there is a significant deviation in the transformer design, which seriously endangers the operation safety of the power system.
