  • Publication number: 20120286914
    Abstract: The invention comprises a power converter method and apparatus, which is optionally part of a filtering method and apparatus. A corona potential is the potential for long term breakdown of winding wire insulation due to the high electric potentials between winding turns winding a mid-level power inductor in a converter system. The high electric potential creates ozone, which breaks down insulation coating the winding wire and results in degraded performance or failure of the inductor. In one embodiment, the inductor is configured with inductor winding spacers, such as a main inductor spacer and/or inductor segmenting winding spacers. The spacers are used to space winding turns of a winding coil about an inductor. The insulation of the inductor spacer minimizes energy transfer between windings and thus minimizes corona potential, formation of corrosive ozone through ionization of oxygen, correlated breakdown of insulation on the winding wire, and electrical shorts in the inductor.

The holding element (2, 41, 51, 62) is constructed wider than the superconductor (17) in the axial direction of the coil (61). The holding element (2, 41, 51, 62) further includes a flat strip (11) and an undulating strip (12, 42, 52). The flat strip (11) extends essentially parallel to the band-shaped superconductor (17) at an essentially constant distance (22) therefrom. The undulating strip (12, 42, 52) extends essentially parallel to the flat strip (11), and in the longitudinal direction periodically has regions (15, 43, 53) distant from and regions (13) close to the flat strip (11). The regions (13) of the undulating strip (12, 42, 52) near to the flat strip have a mechanical connection (21) to the flat strip (11).

  • Publication number: 20110109420
    Abstract: A transformer winding having a conductor wound in a plurality of turns is disclosed, wherein the transformer winding includes a reinforcing part arranged at a winding transition in a manner so that the reinforcing part covers more than 180 degrees of the conductor circumference, whereby the bending strength of the conductor at the location of the reinforcing part is increased. The resistibility of the transformer winding against bending stress is hence improved.

  • Publication number: 20100253465
    Abstract: An electromagnetic component has a multilayer winding. The multilayer winding has a stack body. The stack body has multiple sub-stacks and at least one second metal ring, each of which is interposed between two adjacent sub-stacks of the stack body. Each sub-stack has identical upper and lower first metal rings. Further, each second metal ring has identical upper and lower half rings. Therefore, the multilayer winding only uses two forms of the metal rings, so manufacturing costs will be decreased.
