  • Cooling of coaxial winding transformers in high power applications
    Patent number: 6087916
    Abstract: A coaxial winding transformer is cooled by having heat transfer members connected to an outer conductor of the transformer to receive heat therefrom. The heat transfer members form a heat transfer conducting path from the outer conductor of the transformer to a surface of a heat sink. The heat sink may have fins to maximize transfer of the heat from the heat sink to the ambient air. The outer conductor can include a metal strap member in contact with the surface of extending sections of tubular straight leg sections to electrically connect the tubular sections and transfer heat therefrom. Heat is then transferred from the strap of the outer conductor through the heat transfer members to an available surface of the heat sink.
