Electrical
There are three main reasons for transformer vibration:
- Magnetostrictive forces in the core material
- Forces arising between the conductors carrying the current
- In an oil-cooled transformer magnetic flux returning through the tank can cause additional vibration if a three-phase three-leg transformer is loaded with a zero-sequence current
