  • Patent number: 10665382
    Abstract: A stationary induction apparatus includes a main body tank and a stationary induction apparatus main body. The main body is accommodated in the tank. An electrostatic shield ring is placed on the upper and lower end parts of a winding. An electrostatic shield ring has a magnetic ring and two insulating rings vertically fixing the magnetic ring for a spool. A conductive tape is laid on an insulating tape. These tapes are wound around the spool. An insulating tape is wound around the wound tapes. The width of the insulating tape is equal to or greater than the width of the conductive tape. One end of the conductive tape is connected to one end part of the winding and to the magnetic ring. A gap is provided at at least one place on the magnetic ring. The winding direction of the conductive tape is inverted at at least one place.

  • Patent number: 10658106
    Abstract: To provide a safe stationary induction electrical apparatus that prevents a fragment coming off a magnetic shield, wound around an iron core leg portion of the stationary induction electrical apparatus, due to vibrations from being released in a tank accommodating the stationary induction electrical apparatus and thus prevents a trouble such as dielectric breakdown. Moreover, to provide a stationary induction electrical apparatus that does not need to be changed in the dimensions of an iron core for securing an insulation distance due to the placement of a magnetic shield and can reduce a compressive force generated in a winding. A magnetic material is provided in the interiors of insulating members whose interiors are hollow and which are provided in the vicinities of upper and lower ends of the winding wound around the iron core leg portion of the stationary induction electrical apparatus.

  • Patent number: 10509021
    Abstract: There is provided a diagnosing device for an on-load tap changing apparatus of a transformer, which can diagnose the degradation degree of insulating oil at high accuracy by a relatively simple device configuration. A diagnosing device for an on-load tap changing apparatus has an insulating oil tank in which insulating oil is sealed, a changeover switching device that is disposed within the insulating oil tank and performs the tap changing operation of a tap winding, a tap selector that selects the tap position of the tap winding, and a polarity (transposition) changer that inverts the polarity of the tap winding or a winding connected to the tap winding. The diagnosing device includes an arc discharge light detector that detects arc discharge light that is emitted at changing the tap position of the tap selector. The degradation degree of the insulating oil is diagnosed based on the arc discharge light detected by the arc discharge light detector.
