Abstract Recently, the audible sound level of power transformer has been reduced due to development of new material and enhancement of manufacturing technology. There is lack of research on the audible sound of winding and cooling fan because the research on reduction of audible sound is concentrated on the core sound. Therefore this paper describes 3 kinds(core, winding and cooling fan) of transformer sound source. Also this paper analyzes the effect of load sound and cooling fan sound on the total transformer sounds. As the results, total sound level of 79dBA class transformer rises 0.2~0.3dB due to effect of load sound and rises 2.1~3.5dB due to effect of cooling fan sound. Also, total sound level of 55dBA class transformer rises 2.3~2.9dB due to effect of load sound and rises 1.9~3.5dB due to effect of cooling fan sound.
