| Abstract |
Because of the increase of power demand and expansion of downtown, it is necessary to install the power transformers at the substation in the residential area. But the public complaints have increased due to the noise of the power transformers in the substation. A soundproof wall has been employed to the power transformers in the outdoor substations and a soundproof door, a soundproof shutter and soundproof equipment for wind-path has been employed to power transformers in the indoor substations in order to isolate sound propagation from the noise of the power transformers. But the noise reduction results of these methods are not satisfied. In this study, a soundproof enclosure is developed to effectively isolate sound propagation from the noise of the power transformers. The performance of the sound attenuation of the developed soundproof enclosure is verified in a 154[㎸] transformer. As a result, 15[㏈] sound attenuation in 120[㎐] component is achieved by applying the developed soundproof enclosure to a 154[kV] transformer. |
