Patent number: 10381155Abstract: A novel winding method is described herein which eliminates the circulating currents for wound transformers. A first layer of a wire is wound about the core at a first set of angles. Next, a loop is pulled to form slack in the wire and the wire is continued to be wound at a second set of angles. The loop provides sufficient slack for the cutting and connecting described further below. The winding and loop pulling continues for s sequences to achieve the desired winding. The wire is then cut at each loop.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2016Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: NEW YORK UNIVERSITYInventors: Francisco De León, Saeed Jazebi

Patent number: 10224145Abstract: A transformer assembly comprises at least one transformer having a core. A primary winding is positioned on a first portion, a secondary winding is positioned on a second portion of the core. A neutral winding may be positioned on a third portion of the core. The secondary winding may receive an induced flux produced by an earth surface potential (ESP) via a system ground and/or receive an induced zero sequence flux produced by a non-linear load. The neutral winding may be configured to provide a mitigating flux to the secondary winding. The transformer may also be used as a filter for either GIC or triplen harmonic mitigation. In this case, the primary windings receive the zero sequence current (GIC or triplen harmonics) and the flux may be cancelled in neutral winding such that the zero sequence currents circulate between the zero sequence source and the filter transformer.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2017Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: NEW YORK UNIVERSITYInventors: Francisco De Leon, Baris Kovan
