The Important Role of Golf Cart Transformers

Many customers who apply cars have very little knowledge of how the car mainly operates, and are not familiar with the various functions of the car's component positions. However, certain important components play a particularly important role in the overall operation of the car, and customers still need to understand that it can better maintain their own vehicles and increase their lifespan. Today, the editor will provide a detailed introduction to a very important component of a golf cart - a transformer, which has functions that you may not know about!

The loss generated during the operation of the golf cart motor, which generates some heat and causes an increase in temperature, will have a certain impact on the transformer.

When the heat generated by the electric motor of the golf cart is equal to the heat dissipation, the temperature of each part of the transformer can reach a stable value. At this point, the difference between the temperature of a certain part of the transformer and the temperature of the surrounding cooling medium is called the temperature rise of that part.

When the transformer reaches a stable temperature rise, there will be differences due to the different cooling methods and capacity sizes of the transformer. Small capacity oil immersed and dry type transformers require 10 hours of operation to achieve stable temperature rise, while large transformers require about 24 hours to achieve stable temperature rise.

The transformer of the golf cart motor transfers the heat inside the winding and iron core to the surface by conduction, and then continuously transfers the heat to the oil pipe wall and oil tank wall through the Natural convection of the transformer oil, and then transfers the heat from their inner surface to the outer surface through the conduction of the oil pipe wall and oil tank wall, and finally dissipates the heat to the surrounding air through convection and radiation.

Overall, the temperature rise of the transformer directly affects the lifespan and load capacity of the golf cart motor. So in order to ensure the safe operation of the transformer, measures must be taken to reduce the temperature rise of the transformer!
