The left wall 14 faces the right wall 13. The top plate 12 is located above the front wall 10, the rear wall 11, the left side wall 14 and the right side wall 13.

The front side wall 10 includes a plurality of air inlets 101. The plurality of air inlets 101 are located at the bottom end of the front side wall 10, so that the cool air can enter the air inlets due to the falling of the cool air. The fan 2 is fixed to the rear side wall 11. One or more fans 2 may be provided. The plurality of fans 2 may be provided in one or more rows. The fan 2 comprises a first plug-in unit 20. The rear wall 11 is provided with a second connector 110. The first connector 20 is connected with the second connector 110 to supply power to the fan 2. The fan 2 is a constant-speed fan, and is switched on and off according to the temperature and the hot spot of the transformer, so that speed regulation is not needed, and the cost is saved. The fan 2 is fixed to the rear side wall 11, and the height of the transformer can be reduced.

When needing to maintain or change fan 2, directly follow first plug connector 20 of fan 2 the second plug connector 110 pull out can, need not stop the transformer prevents the transformer stops the operation of back influence data center. Fan 2 set up in back side wall 11 makes things convenient for maintenance personal to assemble or take off fan 2 prevents the climbing the electric shock risk that the transformer caused. The fan 2 may be directly fixed to the rear side wall 11 by bolts, or the fan 2 may be fixed by a fixing bracket fixed to the rear side wall 11. The specification does not limit the fixing manner of the fan 2. The fan 2 is arranged at the upper end of the rear side wall 11, and hot air rises, so that hot air in the transformer can be pumped out.

The winding 3 is a circuit part of the transformer and is formed by winding a copper wire or an aluminum wire with higher conductivity. The transformer may be provided with one or more windings 3. The plurality of windings 3 are sequentially arranged along the width direction of the front side wall 10. The center lines of the plurality of windings 3 are collinear and parallel to the front side wall 10. The partition plates 4 are positioned between the windings 3 and between the windings 3 and the shell 1, so that cold air is prevented from passing through a gap between the windings 3 and the windings 3 or a gap between the windings 3 and the shell 1 and not passing through the windings 3, the cooling effect is greatly improved, and energy can be effectively saved; meanwhile, hot air backflow can be prevented, and the heat dissipation effect is prevented from being influenced. The separator 4 is an insulating plate to prevent short circuit between the windings 3. The center line of the partition plate 4 is collinear with the center line of the winding 3, so that a good isolation effect is achieved. Preferably, the partition plate 4 is attached to the winding 3, the left side wall 14, the right side wall 13 and the top plate 12, so that a good cooling effect is ensured. Slight clearances due to assembly or manufacturing tolerances are also included within the scope of the present description of the fit.

The transformer in the embodiment of the specification is provided with the pluggable fan 2, when the fan 2 needs to be maintained, the fan 2 can be disconnected by being unplugged under the condition that the transformer does not shut down, so that the fan 2 can be maintained or replaced, and the maintenance is convenient; the fan 2 is a constant-speed fan, and is switched on and off according to the temperature and the hot spot of the transformer, so that speed regulation is not needed, and the cost is saved; the fan 2 is fixed to the rear side wall 11, so that the height of the transformer can be reduced; the transformer is provided with the partition plates 4, the partition plates 4 are positioned between the winding 3 and between the winding 3 and the shell 1, and cold air is prevented from passing through a gap between the winding 3 and the winding 3 or a gap between the winding 3 and the shell 1 and not passing through the winding 3, so that the cooling effect is greatly improved, and energy can be effectively saved; meanwhile, hot air backflow can be prevented, and the heat dissipation effect is prevented from being influenced.
