Case Study: Improvement of a Transformer with Unstable Electrical Characteristics
Achieving stability in characteristics through the review of the immersion process.
A case study of stabilization through optimization of the impregnation process for a transformer that does not exhibit electrical characteristics.
【Consultation Details】 We received the following consultation from a device manufacturer: - The prototype transformer does not exhibit the expected electrical characteristics. - There is variability in the measurement values, and the characteristics are unstable. There should have been no issues in the design, but the actual prototype did not perform as expected, and the cause could not be identified. The request this time was for: "I would like you to impregnate it while the core is assembled." This was the specified process. Issues The electrical characteristics of the transformer were: - Unstable - Not reaching the design values To establish it as a product, stabilization of the electrical characteristics was necessary. < Hypothesis from Akita Transformer > After reviewing the situation, Akita Transformer proposed the following hypothesis: There is a possibility that the impregnation process is affecting the characteristics. Depending on how the impregnation resin enters and the state of the magnetic circuit, it is believed that there may be an impact on the coil and magnetic characteristics.

basic information
<Implemented Measures> Therefore, we conducted trials not only in the specified process but also through several methods. - Impregnation with the core assembled - Impregnation with the coil alone - Change in assembly order - Verification through condition changes We performed multiple prototypes and evaluations while changing the order of the processes. <Improvement Results> Ultimately, we changed the process to impregnate the coil alone and then assemble the core, resulting in: - Stable electrical characteristics - Meeting design values - Elimination of characteristic variation <Key Points of This Case> In this project, we approached it from the perspective of considering processes that establish characteristics rather than manufacturing as requested. By reviewing the order of processes and the timing of impregnation, we were able to resolve the issues with electrical characteristics.
