Abstract: In a single phase transformer core and transformer, thin-strip metal is wound into multiple rings of different widths and arranged to define a ring-like structure having a stepped, substantially circular cross-section without any cuts or gaps in the magnetic path, or the core is wound from a tapered strip that is configured to define a substantially circular cross-section when wound, while in a three phase transformer core and transformer two inner frames, each made of one or more wound rings are arranged side-by-side and an outer frame of one or more rings is wound around the two inner frames, the core being covered with epoxy prior to winding coils on it.

Abstract: In a method and system for slitting thin strip magnetic steel such as transformer core material, a laser is mounted above the material and the material is wound from a pay-out reel to one or more take-up reels.

Abstract: In a transformer core and transformer, a wound transformer core is formed from magnetic steel strips that are wound into multiple rings of different widths and arranged to define a ring-like structure having a stepped, substantially circular cross-section without any cuts or gaps in the magnetic path, or the core is wound from one or more tapered strips that are wound to define a cross-section that is circular, oval, egg-shaped, or square-shaped with truncated corners.
