Humming Noise of transformer
When it comes to power regulation, transformers are everything. Step-up and step-down transformers can boost or lower voltages to apply whatever level of power is necessary for a given application. Transformer noise can be a significant problem. Even small amounts can gum up the works and prevent power transformers from working the way they were designed. It is very important to know exactly what transformer noise is, why it causing it and how to prevent it. What Causes the Humming Noise in an Electrical Transformer? There are actually multiple causes of transformer noise. The main one is the Magnetostriction Effect. This is when the current that flows through the transformer’s coils creates a magnetic field. The magnetic field then changes the dimensions of the transformer’s iron core. The core expands and contracts with the alternating current, which causes a humming sound. As the transformer ages, the layers within the core of the transformer begin to break apart and separate from o...
