  • Publication number: 20240186051
    Abstract: A transformer installation including at least one non-liquid immersed transformer having a magnetic core including at least two core legs each having a winding axis. The transformer further includes at least two coil windings wound around at least one of the core legs of the magnetic core about the winding axis. The transformer installation further includes at least one coil cooling tube defining a coil cooling channel for guiding a dielectric cooling fluid. The at least one cooling tube is wound about at least one of the at least two coil windings. The transformer installation further includes at least one core cooling channel arranged within the core. The core cooling channel is configured to guide a dielectric cooling fluid through the core.

  • Publication number: 20240186058
    Abstract: A coil for a transformer assembly is provided. The coil extends circumferentially around a longitudinal axis. The coil comprises a foil winding arrangement and a conductor element. The foil winding arrangement extends circumferentially around the longitudinal axis and has four edge regions. The conductor element covers at least partially at least one of the edge regions of the foil winding arrangement. The conductor element allows for a reduction in an electric field that arises during an operation of the transformer assembly at the edges of the foil winding arrangement. In this manner, a performance improvement in partial discharge tests and lightning impulse tests can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 10689655
    Abstract: A light funnel collimator has a central lens surface and a back reflecting surface, shaped to provide a wider background beam and a narrower hotspot beam within but off-center of the wider beam. One of the beams is on-axis of the collimator, and the other beam is off-axis. The reflector is at least partly asymmetrical relative to the axis, and provides or contributes to the off-axis beam.

  • Patent number: 8075147
    Abstract: An optical device for coupling the luminous output of a light-emitting diode (LED) to a predominantly spherical pattern comprises a transfer section that receives the LED's light within it and an ejector positioned adjacent the transfer section to receive light from the transfer section and spread the light generally spherically. A base of the transfer section is optically aligned and/or coupled to the LED so that the LED's light enters the transfer section. The transfer section can comprises a compound elliptic concentrator operating via total internal reflection. The ejector section can have a variety of shapes, and can have diffusive features on its surface as well, including a phosphor coating. The transfer section can in some implementations be polygonal, V-grooved, faceted and other configurations.

  • Patent number: 7181378
    Abstract: The present embodiments provide for apparatuses, and methods for manufacturing apparatuses to convert a first distribution of an input radiation to a second distribution of output radiation. The apparatus can be defined in some embodiments by generating a two-dimensional representation of three active optical surfaces including calculating a segment of first, entry and second surfaces based on first second, and third generalized Cartesian ovals, respectively, and successively repeating the calculating of the segments of the first and second surfaces, and rotationally sweeping the two-dimensional representation about a central axis providing a three-dimensional representation. In some embodiments, portion of the first and/or second surfaces can be totally internally reflective.
