Advanced Modeling & Simulation of Electric Field, Thermal Stress, and Mechanical Stress in Transformer Bushings
Transformer bushings can make a big difference between smooth operation and costly downtime. Ever wondered why? The truth is, bushings are critical components that handle high voltages, temperature fluctuation, and loads all at once. During faults like overheating, mechanical stress, and electric field concentration, the result can be catastrophic failure. Thus, advanced modeling and simulation are used. Now, instead of waiting for faults to occur, engineers can predict how bushings will behave under various stresses and optimize designs for reliability, which results in the extended life of power equipment. In this blog, we will understand how the simulation of electric fields, mechanical stress, and thermal stress is changing the way transformer busing is crafted, tested, and maintained. Electric Field Simulation: Reducing the Risk of Partial Discharges One of the biggest challenges in transformer bushings is m...
