    Abstract: A transformer arrangement comprising a transformer having a neutral and formed as a symmetrical transformer, in particular a cage transformer and having a reactor coil connected to the neutral of the transformer is provided. The transformer can be of any type having a neutral such as a Y-n/Y-n, Z-n/Z-n, Y-n/Z-n or a Z-n/Y-n transformer. By providing a transformer having symmetrical phases connected to a reactor coil a transformer arrangement having less weight is obtained. The lower weight is obtained because in comparison to using an E core for the transformer all phases will be symmetrical so that if a ground fault occurs in one of then phases there is no need for any compensatory windings regardless of which phase suffers the ground fault.

  • Patent number: 6158109
    Abstract: A spacer for mounting around the outer peripheral surface of a bobbin. The spacer has first and second edge surfaces formed in a circular arc shape. Subsequent to the formation of a first coil by winding wire around the bobbin, the wire is continuously curved from a distal end portion of the first coil along the first edge surface of the spacer. After making a U-turn of substantially 180 degrees, the wire is wound to form the second coil. Upon completion of winding of the second coil, the wire is guided along the second edge surface, from an end portion of the second coil, and a second portion of the first coil is wound. The portion of the wire for connecting both of the first and second coils is free from bent corners, thus avoiding the generation of stress concentration. Also, the wire is guided by smooth and curved edge surfaces of the spacer, thus preventing damage to a coating on the wire.

    Abstract: A coil arrangement comprising two coils on a single coil former, termed a twin coil, is characterized in that the two coils (W1, W2 and, respectively, W3A), with any respective individual magnetic core (10 or, respectively, 9) required, are mounted with a substantial distance from each other on the coil former (1) and in that the respective residual coupling of the coils (W1, W2 and W3A) is eliminated by an oppositely wound or connected compensation winding (W3B). The compensating winding (8) is located in the one winding compartment (3) and has current from the coil in the other winding chamber (4) flowing through it. As a result the twin coil in accordance with the invention leads to some advantages over known twin coils in which the coupling between the two coils is nearly 100%.
