Since the transformer has OFWF cooling system, at first we
measured the noise level with the transformer cooling system
pumps on (Figure 4). It is measured:

6. CONCLUSION
In order to improve aspects of living and working
environment protection of power facilities, scientists have
developed dry transformers, which dont have transformer
tank and dont use any transformer oil, but have an air
cooling system or a windings sealed with epoxy materials
that absorb heat during heating of magnetic cores. Dry
transformers are increasingly used in urban areas because
they are environmentally favorable, and have significantly
lower noise level compared to oil transformers. Comparative
tests show that in the dry transformers up to 1000 kVA noise
level is for about 10 - 12 dB lower than for the oil
transformers of same power.
Development and improvement of methods of measuring
noise at oil power transformers with large power, contribute
to the improvement of design methods and manufacturing
technology of transformers, and competitiveness in meeting
the permissible noise level which modern market of electric
power equipment and systems requires today.
