Introduction
Transformers exhibit vibrations while operating, and generate a characteristic hum noise. The noise, being
of a marked tonal character, causes irritation and
discomfort.
Transformers are moved nearer to the working and living districts. Many countries have stipulated maximum permissible noise levels.

Radiated sound power is the end result of a series of mechanisms
Each step is influenced by a number of factors

In the electro magnetic model our main interest is Lorentz Forces
We are deriving these variables using magnetic vector potential formulation.

Mechanical Model
Aim of the mechanical model is getting correct vibration levels.
Transformer windings are complex structures made of copper, pressboard and insulation paper
This structure is simplified in the model.

Mechanical Model- Equations
We are using the Navier’s equations to describe the dynamical behavior of mechanical systems
Even though static forces do not change the dynamic behavior of windings they alter the mechanical properties of pressboard

Summary
3D Acoustic model is built to understand radiated noise from transformer tank.
Electromagnetic and mechanical simulations are done in 2D axisymmetric geometry
Results are carried by extrusion coupling to the 3D geometry.
Measurement and simulation results show good agreement
