Winding Hottest-Spot Temperature Analysis in Dry-Type Transformer Using Numerical Simulation

A thermal analysis of a 5 kVA dry-type transformer under linear and non-linear loads conditions is studied in this paper. The main goal here is to calculate the hottest-spot transformer temperature under free convection through the resolution of the heat conduction equation in three dimensions (3D)...
