    Abstract: The invention is an arrangement of inductive voltage transformers for installation in a completely insulated high-voltage switching installation comprising a metal encapsulation and several high-voltage conductors. In accord with the invention each of the inductive voltage transformers includes an insulating body carrying a respective high-potential winding, and each further includes a bushing laterally joined to its respective insulating body. More particularly, in further accord with the invention the bushings are arranged so as to be continuations of the high voltage conductors of the switching installation when the transformers are disposed therein.

  • Patent number: 4079324
    Abstract: A transformer for high-power pulses, inserted between a plurality of parallel-connected low-impedance power-modulator modules and a load, has a composite primary winding formed from an outer and an inner prismatic sheet-metal layer of five and three turns, respectively, conductively interconnected at the top and provided with respective terminal tabs at the bottom. The layers are so wound that their magnetic fluxes, induced in a core surrounded by the winding, oppose each other to give the effect of a single-layer two-turn winding, yet with elimination of the spacing between the terminals otherwise necessary and of the corresponding parasitic impedance.

  • Patent number: 4055825
    Abstract: A voltage transformer for use with high voltages. The transformer includes an insulating body in which is disposed a high-potential winding and a bushing laterally joined to the insulating body. In accord with the invention, the transformer is further provided with control electrodes in the form of conducting cylinders which are disposed concentrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bushing, thereby affording control of the bushing at both its ends. Moreover, in further accord with the invention, the high-potential winding is arranged adjacent to one side of the bushing so that its width extends over the control length thereof, and is comprised of subwindings which are metallically connected to the respective conducting cylinders such that a uniform voltage distribution results during the occurrence of surge voltages.

  • Patent number: 4042900
    Abstract: An electrostatic shielding arrangement for improving the initial distribution of voltage which in turn reduces the insulation stresses on disc-wound coils resulting from the application of impulse or steep wave-front voltages to such coils. Floating electrostatic shields are placed near or internal of the innermost or the innermost and outermost turns only of a disc coil section. Shields are connected together in pairs, with no more than one shield connection being made between adjacent coil sections.

  • Patent number: 4031459
    Abstract: An inductive voltage transformer for a high-voltage metal-clad switch-gear installation fully insulated by means of an insulating gas, which includes a pressure vessel flangedly connected to the metallic capsule of the switch-gear installation and has a high-voltage winding constructed as layer winding which is surrounded by the high-voltage electrode; the insulating gas disposed within the pressure vessel thereby forms the high-voltage insulation while the high voltage electrode is drawn axially over the winding end faces of at least a portion of the layer winding; the central portion of the high-voltage electrode surrounding the winding cross section of the layer winding as well as the edge portions thereof axially drawn beyond the layer winding are thereby so curved that the outer surfaces thereof form together with the adjacent cylindrical wall portions of the pressure vessel at least approximately a Rogowski-profile projected on a cylindrical area.

  • Patent number: 4017815
    Abstract: A disc wound winding formed of a plurality of spirally wound, disc coil sections and having series capacitance increasing electrostatic shields in less than all of said sections, incorporates partial-turn electrostatic shields in disc coil sections adjacent that portion of said winding not having electrostatic shields. With this arrangement, a substantial reduction in the change in series capacitance between the shielded and unshielded portions of a disc wound winding is effected which minimizes unsatisfactory impulse voltage build-up at the beginning of the unshielded portion of said winding.

  • Patent number: 4002976
    Abstract: A compact voltage sensing device for connection to an alternating current high voltage circuit is imbedded within an organic polymeric insulator body that is formed to provide both mechanism support and "line to ground" insulation for a conductor or component connected thereto. The voltage sensing device comprises a capacitor and step-down transformer in series from the conductor to ground which provides a low voltage output which may be used to determine the magnitude of the voltage on the conductor, or as a source of control voltage for auxiliary apparatus. The insulator body may be made to be equal in height and have the same mounting configuration as a conventional insulator so that it can be substituted for a conventional insulator in a distribution system. The performance of the insulator body as insulation is not compromised by the presence of internal electrical components.

  • Patent number: 3996544
    Abstract: A multi-layer winding comprising cylindrically-wound conductors and having different diameters are arranged concentrically. The layer windings are connected in series from inside to outside. Each layer winding has a layer insulator arranged on the inside thereof with a flange. Inwardly of the layer insulator and adjacent to the next inward layer winding is formed an oil gap functioning as a cooling-oil path. That oil-gap-equivalent part at and in the vicinity of the ends of the layer winding where the potential is maximum between adjacent layer windings is larger than the other parts thereof. This construction reduces the intensity of the electric field at the ends of each layer winding and eliminates partial discharge, thus improving the reliability and rendering the multi-layer winding compact and light in weight as a whole.

  • Patent number: 3991394
    Abstract: Current distribution between parallel-connected, coaxial, helical coils is determined by rectangular conductors having a selected radial thickness and longitudinal widths so that each coil carries the desired current. First adjacent ends of all of the coils are connected together at the same physical location by a first common terminal, and second adjacent ends of all of the coils are connected together at the same physical location by a second common terminal. The rectangular conductors facilitate winding and supporting coaxial coils, and different conductor widths and winding pitches permit each coil to be designed so that it has the desired characteristics and importantly so that it carries the desired current.

  • Patent number: 3983522
    Abstract: Capacitively coupled, transient response improving, series capacitance compensating electrostatic shields in a disc-wound winding progress inwardly from the outer portion of said winding in a tapered configuration or inwardly and outwardly in a conical-taper configuration, as the winding progresses from a high potential end. With this arrangement a substantial reduction in the change in series capacitance is effected between the compensated and uncompensated portion of said winding which minimizes unsatisfactory voltage transient build-up at the beginning of the uncompensated or lower series capacitance portion of said winding.

  • Patent number: 3958201
    Abstract: Cross-connections in cross-connection regions of adjacent winding sections of a disc-wound interlaced winding are physically offset from each other circumferentially of the winding or in the direction in which the conductor turns of a winding are wound. This physical offset increases the physical separation of otherwise adjacent conductor turns in adjacent winding sections at the inner surface of the winding, which are usually separated electrically by several series turns, thereby reducing the axial voltage gradient between such conductor turns.
