Description

ELECTRIC WINDINGS FOR INDUCTORS AND TRANSFORMERS HAVING WATER-COOLED TUBULAR ELEMENTS AND A HELICALLY WOUND COATING OF FLAT WIRES
The invention concerns windings ror inductors and trans- formers used especially in railway vehicles.
To reduce losses and particularly to reduce variation of inductance as frequency varies, use is made of con¬ ductors whose components are insulated one from another. To reduce weight and bulk of windings and increase cur- rent density, cooling is done by pressurized air and by oil.
Bearing in mind the danger which oil might represent in the event of an outbreak of fire.-and to increase effi¬ ciency, water, especially demineralized water, has re- cently been used for cooling purposes.
This is an advantage because water insulates but on the other hand it also corrodes some metals such as copper and pure aluminium. For this reason steel and aluminium alloys such as Anti- corodal have been resorted to.
Even so, certain disadvantages have been noted. Resistivity and therefore resistance of the Anticorodal alloy, and losses in direct current, are about one third greater than those that occur with pure aluminium.
As frequency increases the current tends to become den- ser inside causing a reduction of space needed for its passage; this increases resistance in alternating cur¬ rent and losses, and a reduction in inductance value.
If violent surges of current take place the turns on the tube tend to widen causing tractive stresses making it necessary to use material with adequately sized cross sections .
The above invention lessens these disadvantages as will be explained below.
The invention concerns electric windings, for inductors and transformers, consisting of a tubular element cooled by internal circulation of liquid and coated with heli¬ cally wound wires.
These wires are laid symme rically side by side and are insulated one from another. Varying from one case to another said wires are flat or round .
The most suitable liquid for cooling is demineralized water, but it may also be oil.
Coating wires may be of aluminium or copper. The tubular elements may be of steel or of an aluminium alloy, especially Anticorodal.
The coating, of copper wires or flat wires, forms a con- t inuous layer .
There may be two or more layers, one over another. The advantages offered by the invention are evident.
Thermal head between tube, wires and flat wires, is very small . Current is equally distributed among wires and flat wires whatever the frequency may be and no stray current is created .
Resistivity of copper is less than half that of aluminium alloy and losses in direct current are therefore low. As frequency increases the current is distributed over all wires and flat wires which means only a very slight increase of resistance in alternating current. Current is distributed uniformly around the tubular ele- ments so that when frequency varies inductance value re¬ mains substantially constant.
In the event of a violent surge of current, the cross sec¬ tion of the tube, especially if made of steel, greatly assists in withstanding tractive stresses. Windings are less costly than those at present used.
While the tube, especially a steel tube, wires and flat wires, all share the effort of withstanding tractive stresses, in the winding stage these stresses are borne by the tubular element only since the wires and flat wires, by their very nature, bend with little effort.
In view of the above, the overall cross section required for the tubular element, wires and flat wires is smaller than that, needed for the conductor only, for example an Antico¬ rodal tube . Characteristics and purposes of the invention will be made still clearer by the following example of its exe¬ cution illustrated by diagramma ically drawn figures. Fig.1 Winding of the usual type made from a tubular ele¬ ment of Anticorodal, cut through lengthwise. Fig.2 A length of the tubular element of a winding as here invented, drawn in a straight line. The winding 10 of a type at present known is made from a tube 11 of Anticorodal helically bent with turns 12.
Demineralized water 14 runs through the inside 13 of the tube . The winding 20, subject of the invention, is made of a tube 21 of stainless steel through which demineralized water 22 runs .
Around the tube is a helical coating consisting of a number of flat wires 23, 24, n. Said flat wires are insulated, laid symmetrically side by side so as to form a substantially continuous layer
25.
For the sake of simplicity the tube has been drawn in a straight line.
