  • Amorphous core transformer
    Patent number: 9514877
    Abstract: During the assembly process of an amorphous core transformer, when an offset has arisen between a coil and the amorphous core, and when an offset has arisen between the coil and the core due to a shock resulting from unloading or vibrations during transport, there has been the risk of breakage of an insulating member between an amorphous core and a coil, causing amorphous fragments to be scattered. The object of the present invention is to prevent scattering of amorphous fragments.
