Proper installation of the core is essential for the performance and safety of the high-frequency isolation transformer. During the assembly process, one area of concern is the sharp corners of the core. If these sharp edges are not properly managed, they can puncture or overlap insulation materials, causing grounding or electrical shorts in the transformer.
This issue becomes especially important in high-frequency transformers, which require precision to function effectively. To avoid this problem, it is essential to measure the insulation around oil passages regularly, especially where the core chips meet. Insufficient insulation or sharp points could lead to short circuits, reducing the transformer's efficiency or even damaging the entire power system. Ensuring that these sharp edges are smoothed out and that the insulation is correctly positioned prevents potential failures in high-frequency isolation transformers, improving both their lifespan and operational safety.
