Publication number: 20160336109Abstract: A transformer assembly (2) includes a base (4) comprising a CNC machine milled aluminum plate that is designed for liquid cooling. Three magnetic flux conductive cores (30a, 30b, 30c) are mounted to the core and are interlinked by three winding assemblies (6a, 6b and 6c). The winding assemblies each include a plurality of heat conductive members (10). The heat conductive members (10) extend from the base through the winding assemblies and conduct operative heat from the winding assemblies to the base for dissipation from the base during use. The heat conductive members each comprise a copper tube sealed at either end with a fluid within. In use a convection current forms in the fluid that causes the fluid to circulate from one end of the tube to the other thereby transmitting heat along the conductive member to thereby transmit heat from the coils to the liquid cooled base in use.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2015Publication date: November 17, 2016Inventors: David Andrew Finn, Alexander Kris Rudzki, James McFarlane Kennedy
