Abstract: A yoke clamp bracket for a transformer core. The yoke clamp bracket may comprise a body portion having a plurality of center holes near each end, a plurality of slots for coil barriers, a plurality of slots for wiring, and attachment points for side brackets and vertical supports. The yoke clamp bracket may be mounted to a transformer core by connectors extending through the plurality of center holes. The yoke clamp bracket may be constructed from a lightweight material with low density such that it displaces a larger quantity of tank oil and reduces the weight of a distribution transformer.

Abstract: A transformer coil wound in a disc winding arrangement. Discs may be arranged such that the line lead does not connect to the first disc in the transformer coil but instead to a subsequent disc. This arrangement may improve the capacitance between the initial few discs of the winding, making the impulse voltage distribution more uniform without the use of a static end ring or other impulse voltage distribution controlling alterations.

Abstract: A tension bar for applying pressure more uniformly by the core bracket of a transformer may be provided. The tension bar may include a bow-shaped flat bar having at least one tightening bolt disposed therein. The at least one tightening bolt may be adjusted to apply pressure on a channel bracket clamping the yoke of a transformer. The tension bar may allow for tension to be applied uniformly along the length of the channel bracket used to clamp the yoke.
