  • Patent number: 7847665
    Abstract: A method for winding a coil for a transformer comprising providing a cylindrical inner tube of insulating material including a radially outwardly projected first end wall section disposed at a first end of the cylindrical inner tube and a radially outwardly projecting second wall section disposed at a second end of the cylindrical inner tube; winding a first insulating layer onto the cylindrical inner tube so as to extend to the first end wall section and the second end wall section; and winding a first winding wire layer onto the first insulating layer so as to provide a first distance between a first end of the first winding wire layer and the first wall section and a second distance between a second end of the first winding layer and the second end wall section.

  • Publication number: 20100245017
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for producing a multi-layer transformer winding. During or after the winding of a conductor layer around a winding body, a layer of electrically insulating material can be applied on the radially outer surface thereof. A dry fiber composite can be used as the insulating material. The fiber composite can be bonded into an insulating layer by heating the transformer winding to a composite temperature.

  • Publication number: 20100134232
    Abstract: A power transformer includes at least one winding formed from at least one conductor extending along a circumferential direction, wherein the at least one winding has a tap in a contact section formed by a profile of the at least one conductor in at least one direction inclined relative to the circumferential direction; and at least one supporting element configured to support the conductor in the contact section.

  • Patent number: 7064644
    Abstract: A winding for a transformer or a coil having a ribbon electrical conductor and an insulating material layer composed of ribbon insulation material wound jointly to form turns around a winding core. The individual turns of the winding have a predetermined winding angle with respect to a winding axis of the winding core and are disposed such that they partially overlap one another. An insulating layer is inserted between two radially adjacent layers of the turns. Furthermore, a thickness of the insulating layer is locally matched to the voltage difference determined there. In addition, the thickness of the insulating layer is locally matched, the thickness being interchanged in sequence of the method A+B determined there, to the voltage difference between the two relevant radially adjacent layers at the relevant axial point.

  • Publication number: 20060099337
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for curing coils 16 which have been produced by a winding method, a coil 16 initially being arranged in an oven 12 for curing. The coil 16 is heated up to a predeterminable temperature and rotated about its longitudinal axis 32 to avoid dripping of resin. The conductor or conductors of the coil 16 is or are flowed through by current, in particular by direct current, and heated in this way. The invention also relates an arrangement for curing coils 16, with which the method according to the invention can be carried out.
