Patent number: 7990246Abstract: A pulse transformer arrangement (100) is built from an uncut pulse transformer core (110) and at least one foil winding (120-A, 120-B) (each) comprising multiple insulated conducting strips arranged around the core and ending in foil winding terminals to form multiple independent primary windings. This new design principle has several advantages. Making the winding(s) of foil eliminates the need to cut the core, because of the ease of insertion of the foil winding(s) onto the core. The work to set up a plurality of primary windings is significantly reduced. In addition to the elimination of the costs for cutting the core, this also brings the further advantages of reduced DC reset current, reduced risk for electrical shorts and avoidance of excessive losses due to potential high frequency AC resistance problems.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2006Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Scandinova Systems ABInventors: Mikael Rolf Lindholm, Bengt Anderberg

Patent number: 7956714Abstract: Primary (4, 8) and secondary (10) windings are subjected to a significant heat stress during operation of a high voltage transformer. The present invention describes a high voltage transformer which is believed to have good temperature properties. This transformer may have a planar primary winding and a Litz secondary winding. The planar primary winding may abut against a planar face of the core (2) therefore allowing for a good heat exchange between these two elements. The Litz secondary winding and the planar primary winding may be cooled by means of a cooling medium.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2006Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Bernd Ackermann, Christoph Loef
