Patent number: 8754739Abstract: A reactor having a good heat dissipation effect is provided. The reactor includes one coil formed by winding a wire, a magnetic core arranged inside and outside the coil and forming a closed magnetic circuit, and a case for housing an assembly of the coil and the magnetic core.

Publication number: 20110267163Abstract: An element for forming an induction component contains a coil body with a core and two radially projecting flanges, which are formed on the respective axial ends of the core and of which the one flange is designed to be attached to a printed circuit board and is larger than the other flange. On its outer side, the coil body is surrounded by a shielding ring, which sits on the larger of the two flanges. To this end, the shielding ring has an inwardly directed step on the lower end corner, the one limb of which step forms an abutment surface to be placed on the inner side of the flange. The other limb forms an abutment surface to be placed against the outer edge of the flange. The step preferably runs over the entire circumference of the shielding ring. As a result, an air gap formed between the upper flange and the inner side of the shielding ring is fixed in terms of its dimensions and position.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2011Publication date: November 3, 2011Inventor: Alexander Gerfer

Publication number: 20110260817Abstract: A slim-type high voltage transformer includes a case, and a transformer portion configured by mounting at least primary and secondary winding coils wound in the shape of a rectangular or elliptic track to protruding grooves formed in the interior of the case and then mounting a first copperplate core on the primary and secondary winding coils. In the transformer, the transformer portion further includes an insulating member interposed between the primary and secondary winding coils and the first copperplate core. Accordingly, a bobbin for winding a coil is not used, so that the height of the transformer can be minimized, thereby decreasing the size of products. Also, a winding is divided into two sections to be molded, so that the insulation and heat generation of the winding can be effectively controlled, thereby improving the stability of the transformer.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2010Publication date: October 27, 2011Inventors: Jongseok KIM, Haksoo LEE, Giju HAN, Miae YUN

Publication number: 20110254647Abstract: A dry-type electrical transformer system comprises a transformer and a housing. The transformer includes vertically oriented primary and secondary windings, a core extending through the primary and secondary windings, and top and bottom core clamps securing the top and bottom of the core. The housing includes a base supporting the transformer and having an air inlet, a top including an air outlet, and side walls around the transformer, wherein the housing facilitates air flow through air passages in the windings driven by natural convection in the absence of a powered air mover. Support beams allow air into a base of the housing, and the clamps are designed to allow efficient air flow into and through the air passages in the windings. A top of the housing divides the air flow into separate streams and directs the air to separate vents that release the air vertically upward.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2011Publication date: October 20, 2011Applicant: SOUTHERN TRANSFORMERS & MAGNETICS, LLCInventor: Wesley A.
