Abstract: An electric device for connection to a high voltage includes an active part having a magnetizable core and at least one winding arrangement, each surrounding a core section of the core and having windings inductively coupled together, forming cooling channels in the windings. A boiler is filled with insulating fluid and the active part is completely disposed therein. The boiler has at least one insulating fluid inlet and at least one insulating fluid outlet interconnected by a circulation system outside of the boiler having a cooling unit and a pump for circulating the insulating fluid. The electric device has improved cooling achieved by each insulating fluid inlet being connected to a distributing unit, which is disposed on one of the end sides of the winding assembly, via an insulating fluid line extending in the boiler, the distributing unit distributing cooled insulating fluid to the cooling channels.
