Preformed Insulation Between Coil And Core (e.g., Spool) Patents (Class 336/198)
  • Publication number: 20150123758
    Abstract: A transformer includes a core of magnetic permeable material around which both a primary coil and a secondary coil extend. A sheets of electrical insulation are located between the layers of windings of the primary and secondary coils, between the primary and secondary coils, and between the core and the coils. The sheet is formed of material that is non-conductive to electricity, and has a first major surface and a second major surface opposing each other. A first plurality of ribs projects outward from the first major surface. Optionally a second plurality of ribs projects outward from the second major surface of the sheet. The force exerted on to the inter-layer or inter-winding electrical insulation sheets during the winding process are absorbed by deformation of one or more of the ribs thereby inhibiting that force from adversely affecting the electrical insulating property of the sheet.

  • Patent number: 8970335
    Abstract: The coil form according to the invention for forming an inductive element includes a hollow cylindrical mantle portion, two flange portions and a slit. The flange portions and the mantle portion form a winding chamber for winding therein a wire that forms a first winding or a part of a first winding of the inductive element. The coil form, which is completely made of copper, forms a second coil or a winding of a second coil of the inductive element. Due to the increased contact surface between the first and the second coil the heat dissipation capabilities and the magnetic coupling between the coils are increased. This in turn results in an increased power density of the inductive element.

  • Patent number: 8716950
    Abstract: Data may be encoded onto a direct current power line by modulating the current on that direct current power line. One method of modulating the current is by placing an inductor on the power line and then using a controlled transistor that turns on and turns off. The inductor will ensure that current keeps flowing but the transistor will induce changes in the current pattern. The excess current from when transistor is turned off must be diverted. Furthermore, to create symmetrical current changes, the inductor should be reverse biased. Thus, a circuit is created that sinks the excess current from when the transistor is turned off and used to reverse bias the inductor.
