  • Patent number: 8181334
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing windings for a dry-type transformer with in each case one winding for the low voltage (LV winding) and one for the high voltage (HV winding). The LV and HV windings are each electrically insulated from one another and have layers which are electrically insulated from one another by virtue of, initially, the winding for the low voltage being produced from electrically conductive wire or tape material and an insulating layer including resin-impregnated fibre material. Prior to the application of the HV winding, the maximum insulating thickness for the layer insulation and the number of fiber rovings corresponding to this insulating thickness can be determined, and each winding layer and the associated insulating layer can be produced simultaneously with a physical offset with respect to one another.

  • Publication number: 20120056706
    Abstract: A wound transformer core is provided with at least one core loop made of a magnetic material. The transformer core includes multiple thin amorphous band-like iron sheets which are concentrically stacked around at least one center axis. A lower yoke section, an upper yoke section, and at least two limb sections are formed. The transformer core includes a modular plate-like support structure which is affixed upright to the center axis on both face sides of the lower yoke section and on both face sides of each limb section such that neighbored iron sheets are affixed together at their outer edge. The modular plate-like support structure includes, for each face side of the corresponding core sections, at least two plate-like modules, which are each connected to each other by a first or second plug-in connection.

  • Publication number: 20110175695
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a housing for an electric machine, for example, an electric power transformer, such as a dry-type transformer, with cooling channels being provided within the housing for a cooling medium. The electric machine and a cooling system can be arranged in the housing, with vertically arranged first and second channels for the cooling medium being provided. The medium can flow around the electric machine, with the housing accommodating the electric machine and the cooling system substantially forming a hermetic encapsulation.

  • Patent number: 7880582
    Abstract: An electrical resistor has an electrically conductive stack, which includes a plurality of metal first layers and second layers. The stack allows to produce a highly anisotropic resistor, in which the resistance in the direction perpendicular to the layers is much higher than in the plane of the layers. The anisotropy allows the current flowing through the stack to be made homogenous, e.g., to be distributed over the entire stack surface, even if the current is input into the stack in an inhomogenous manner.
