Transformer noise control is crucial from both the perspective of noise disturbance and potential health risks. In areas affected by transformer noise, the sound level inside residential homes can range from 30 to 40 decibels, and in severe cases, it may even cause a sensation similar to a slight earthquake. Hanks Soundproofing offers comprehensive solutions for transformer noise reduction and vibration control, including on-site measurements, custom production, installation, and long-term after-sales support.
Understanding the source of transformer noise is key to effective mitigation. The primary contributors to transformer noise are the windings, core, and cooling system. When electric current flows through the windings, it causes vibrations within the transformer components. The core, subjected to alternating magnetic forces, also vibrates regularly. Typically, transformer noise consists of two main types: mechanical noise from vibrating parts and air noise generated by the operation of the cooling system. These two types of noise can be treated differently based on their propagation characteristics, with sound insulation and damping being the most common approaches.
To reduce noise and vibration, several effective measures can be implemented:
1. Installing metal damping pads between the transformer and the ground to absorb and reduce sound wave transmission.
2. Replacing rigid connections between transformer components with flexible ones to prevent vibration from traveling through solid structures and to avoid resonance that could create additional noise.
3. Erecting a sound-insulating barrier around outdoor transformers with appropriate height and thickness to create an acoustic shadow zone, effectively reducing noise impact.
4. For indoor transformers, using soundproof walls and installing mufflers on ventilation systems can significantly minimize noise levels.
The results of these noise reduction and vibration control methods are impressive. They can effectively eliminate indoor noise, making the presence of the transformer almost imperceptible. Objective measurements have shown that noise levels can be reduced to as low as 30 dB, meeting the national Class 1 environmental protection standards. Additionally, the noise reduction effect is long-lasting and does not require further construction or modifications.
