  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11322287
    Abstract: An electrical device connects to a high-voltage network and has a vessel, which is filled with an insulating fluid, an active part, which is arranged in the vessel and which has a magnetizable core and partial windings for producing a magnetic field in the core, and a cooling apparatus for cooling the insulating fluid. The electrical device is economical and at the same time can be operated at higher temperatures. This is achieved by use of at least one thermal barrier, which delimits cooling spaces, in each of which at least one partial winding is arranged. The cooling apparatus has at least two cooling units and each cooling unit being configured to cool an associated partial winding.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20190334325
    Abstract: An offshore structure includes an electrical device with a housing filled with an insulating liquid, and it includes an expansion vessel system, the inner volume of which has a region containing insulating liquid as well as a gas cushion. The housing, a pipe and the expansion vessel system form a pressure-tight, hermetically sealed unit. The offshore structure is particularly easy to build due to the fact that the gas cushion is at least in part arranged below sea level.

  • 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.
