Abstract: A three-phase non-linear transformer is cooled by first (30) and second fans (40). The first fan (30) is attached to the first core clamps (12) of the transformer using a first mounting structure (15). The second fan (40) is attached to the second core clamps (24) of the transformer using a second mounting structure (17). The first fan is positioned first so that air is directed toward a central passage of the core. The second fan is positioned so that air is drawn through the central passage of the core. The first fan circulates air through a central passage in the transformer core and channels that exist between adjacent coil assemblies. The second fan draws air through the central passage and channels and further expels the air into the surrounding environment. The first and second fans are controlled by a control panel through which they are run automatically or manually.

Abstract: A three step non-linear transformer core is formed from three sections of laminations each having different widths and cross-sectional areas. A first section of laminations is formed by cross-slitting a generally rectangular sheet or strip of metal. A resulting generally triangular segment is then wound upon a mold to form a first section of a core frame having a trapezoidal cross section. A second section of laminations is wound upon the first section of laminations to form a segment of a core frame having a rhombic cross section. The third section of laminations is wound upon the second section of laminations to form a segment of a core frame having a trapezoidal cross section. Each of the first, second, and third sections of laminations are offset from one another by a predetermined angle of offset.

Abstract: A composite electrical insulation material is comprised of first, second and third layers. The first and third layers are glass fiber mat and the second layer is a thin film material. The first and third layers are bonded to the second layer using a thin resin solution. The insulation is used in electrical machines such as transformers, generators, and motors. The insulation serves as a high/low barrier, high voltage conductor wrap, and low voltage sheet insulation in transformers. In generators and motors, the insulation serves as wrap for conductor windings and wedge insulation for stator and rotor assemblies.
