Vibration Isolation of Electrical Transformers
Vibration isolation of electrical transformers on concrete inertia bases with Sylomer®.
Electrical transformers can generate continuous vibrations that are transmitted through their support points to the building structure, resulting in structure-borne noise in adjacent areas.
AMC Mecanocaucho provides isolation systems based on reinforced concrete inertia bases supported on Sylomer®, reducing the transmission of vibration and structure-borne noise from the transformer to the building.
The additional mass of the inertia base also helps stabilise the installation, while the Sylomer® provides the elastic decoupling required between the transformer assembly and the supporting structure.
The transformer is installed on a reinforced concrete inertia base, which is elastically isolated from the building structure using Sylomer®.
Sylomer® is a microcellular polyurethane elastomer that allows the stiffness of the isolation system to be selected according to the total load, load distribution and disturbing frequencies of the transformer.
Particular attention must be paid to avoiding rigid connections or contact points between the inertia base and the surrounding structure, as these can create acoustic bridges and significantly reduce isolation performance.
This configuration provides an effective solution for reducing transformer vibration and structure-borne noise in technical rooms and other noise-sensitive buildings.
Isolation system with TF mounts
AMC Mecanocaucho TF mounts provide effective decoupling between the transformer and the train structure, reducing the transmission of vibrations and structure-borne noise. Their design is particularly suited to railway applications where compact and efficient vibration isolation is required.
