Abstract: A dry-type transformer having an iron core, with high voltage and low voltage coils encapsulated in casting resin. The high and low voltage windings may be cast separately, or together. Either or both of the coils may have integral axial cooling channels, as may the annular axial space between the inner and outer windings (usually low voltage and high voltage, respectively). Coil cross-section is a modified oval (Rectoval.TM.) shape, in that the sides of the coil are substantially linear and the ends of the coils are substantially semi-circular.

Abstract: An improved low voltage winding for dry insulated transformer has its windings resin encapsulated. The winding is constructed with flexible sheet conductors wound coincident with an insulating sheet material. Insulating spacers provide a means to form air channels in the windings during the coil forming process.

This will prevent drainage of the resin during a curing cycle. The result is a coil that exhibits high short circuit protection due to the tightly bond sheet conductors which will prevent movement of the conductors during short circuit conditions and also increases the radial compressive strength of the coil.

When the coils (12, 22) radiate a heat upon charging, the cooling media which flow in the gaps (11D, 21D) absorb the heat from the cores (11, 21).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a twisted conductor in which better use is made of the material and at the same time the structural dimensions are reduced. The partial conductor has a sharp bend so that the two partial conductor stacks are mutually parallel and leave a space between them. An intermediate piece is fitted in this space in the region of the bend. Thus there is a cooling channel in the twisted conductor for the radial flow of coolant. To ensure that the partial conductor bunch forms a coherent twisted conductor there is a casing in the region of the bend. This casing is a glass-cloth binding pre-impregnated with epoxy resin in the B state. Because of the improved filling factor, the structural height of the transformer can be reduced, resulting in the elimination of the paper insulation itself and the longitudinal intermediate pressboard layer. Moreover, the intermediate pieces can be thinner since there is no longer any need to allow for the expansion of the paper in the spacers.

Abstract: A magneto repulsion electrical tape wound coil has been developed with improved current distribution and improved heat transfer. The coil is easy and is expensive to manufacture and simple to mount. The coil comprises a conductive strip (e.g., a copper strip) with rectangular openings stamped in it with a standard metal stamp. The single row of openings are at regular intervals and arranged so that the width of the openings and the spacing of the openings is such that when the coil is wound there is an overlap of the openings, forming radial passages extending from the outer periphery of the coil to its central core electrode. Cooling fluid may be supplied from a hollow inner electrode so that the cooling fluid flows radially, outwardly. Since the openings overlap to form radial passages, a cross-flow path for the cooling fluid may be established where fluid enters the passages on one side of the coil and exits from the other side of the coil.

Thus, a coil for use in magnetic repulsion punching is provided which maximizes the capacity for carrying electrical current and increases the winding density exhibited by conventional M-R coils. Further, the coil of the present invention will withstand high repetition mechanical shear forces created as a result of the large amount of electrical current pulsing through the windings.
