  • Patent number: 11404196
    Abstract: A core for an electric induction device includes a multiplicity of magnetizable metal sheets which form a stack of metal sheets resting on each other. Spacers that are each disposed between two metal sheets form at least one cooling channel which can be subjected to a greater thermal load and at the same time allows improved cooling. Said spacers are made, at least in part, of metal.

  • Publication number: 20210104347
    Abstract: A housing of an electric device contains a cooling liquid. The housing has at least one barrier in the housing interior. The barrier is impermeable to the cooling liquid and separates a first housing interior region, lying between the barrier and a lateral housing wall of the housing, from a second housing interior region. The barrier is configured to increase a cooling liquid flow of the cooling liquid between the interior regions separated by the barrier in the event that the filling level of the cooling liquid in the housing rises due to the temperature.

  • Patent number: 10629356
    Abstract: An electric device has a housing and an active part in the housing that can be supplied with a high voltage and that generates heat when operated. The housing is filled with an insulating liquid for cooling. A cooling system for cooling the insulating liquid has at least one cooling element which is connected to the external atmosphere in a heat-conductive manner and via which the insulating liquid is conducted. Temperature fluctuations of the electric device are limited or even prevented in an inexpensive manner. The cooling system has a rising section which is connected to the housing, is provided with rising branches, and is connected to a cooling element at each rising branch. The volume of the rising section is selected on the basis of a thermal expansion coefficient of the insulating liquid such that the fill state reaches a different number of rising branches at specific temperatures.

  • Patent number: 9941043
    Abstract: A core for an electrical induction device has a plurality of lamination stacks which are each formed by laminated sheets. The lamination stacks lie on top of each other parallel to the layer plane of the laminated sheets. At least one of the lamination stacks is segmented and has at least two partial lamination stacks, the two partial lamination stacks respectively lying opposite each other with their stack end faces standing transverse, in particular perpendicular, to the layer plane of the laminated sheets. The stack end faces of the two partial lamination stacks have a spacing between each other through which a gap is formed extending between the two partial lamination stacks perpendicular to the layer plane. The gap forms a cooling channel or at least a section of a cooling channel, the channel longitudinal extension thereof extending transversely, in particular, perpendicular to the layer plane of the laminated sheets.

  • Publication number: 20110309903
    Abstract: An electric component contains an electric conductor, wherein inside the electric conductor a current path having a current flow direction is specified because of the ends of the electric conductor being connected to two electric connection points inside the electric component. By using a mixture made of carbon nanostructures having a preferred orientation with respect to the electric conductivity along the current flow direction, and a mixture made of nanostructures having a preferred orientation with respect to the thermal conductivity on at least one of the outside surfaces of the electric component, the electric component, in particular a transformer coil, can be produced in a more compact fashion, wherein at the same time sufficient thermal conductivity of the electric component is ensured. A method for producing the electric component having such a conductor is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7928329
    Abstract: A tap changer is filled with an insulating liquid as well as devices for absorbing variations in the volume of the insulating liquid due to thermal conditions. A gas cushion is provided which is integrated into the tap changer vessel and is formed by members that absorb the variations in the volume of the insulating liquid by changing the shape thereof. Furthermore, a gas cushion envelope is provided which prevents the gas of the gas cushion to be mixed with the gases generated by the thermal decomposition of the insulating liquid.

  • Patent number: 7902951
    Abstract: An electric apparatus, preferably a transformer, is hermetically sealed and filled with a dielectric liquid. Devices for recording heat-related volume variations of the dielectric liquid are contained in the apparatus. Volume variations are compensated with the aid of a gas cushion, which is thermally uncoupled from the dielectric liquid. The largest part of the gas cushion is arranged in a container separated from the dielectric liquid expansion tank. All the components of volume compensating devices are constructed in such a way that the operation of used monitoring devices, in particular, also the protection against Buchholz relays waves is maintained. The invention makes it possible to hermetically seal the transformer, thereby substantially reducing the aging of the dielectric liquid and the cellulose-based insulating material of the apparatus. Furthermore, the inventive device makes it possible to avoid the use of air-dehumidifiers and respective conduits.

  • Patent number: 7884691
    Abstract: An electrical component with winding conductors, particularly a transformer, includes a cooling circuit with a heat exchanging unit. Cooling elements of the heat exchanging unit can be flowed around by a first liquid, particularly seawater, thus enabling an effective exchange of the heat resulting during the operation of the electrical component. The novel electrical component is configured particularly for offshore uses wherein the electrical component is placed at different levels of a platform and thus requires only a small amount of space.

  • Patent number: 7847189
    Abstract: An electric component, in particular an electric switch placed in a liquid-filled housing of an electrical installation, in particular a transformer, is filled with an insulating and cooling medium. The use of a compensating element, for example in the form of a bellow, makes it possible to transmit volume variations produced in the electric component directly to the surrounding liquid contained in the housing.

  • Patent number: 7443273
    Abstract: The system utilizes the flow of a medium for cooling an installation, especially a transformer. The fact is utilized that the flow of the medium, e.g. wind, automatically increases with increasing load of the transformer. The novel transformer is formed so that its outer shape and the cooling elements are impinged upon by the natural air flow to a maximum degree. For this purpose, the cooling elements across their length are adapted to have a large cross-sectional area for the flowing medium. The depth of the cooling elements is chosen such that the flow resistance is not too high and so as to achieve a turbulent flow of the cooling air. Distance and arrangement of the cooling elements are chosen such that the transformer tank itself is reached by the flowing medium and serves for cooling.
