Description
Dry-type transformer Description The invention relates to a dry-type transformer with at least in each case one high-voltage winding and one low-voltage winding, which are operatively connected to one another by an electromagnetic field, each winding being constructed from winding conductors.
It has long been known to use transformers in the distribution of electrical energy by transforming AC
voltage from a high level to a low voltage level, or vice versa. Conductor windings which are wound around a toroidal iron core which generally has a rectangular cross section are used for this purpose.
EP 0 557 549 B1 has disclosed a method for producing a power transformer which is cast with cast resin and has a cut strip-wound core, preferably made from a cold-rolled ferro-alloy which has a preferred direction of magnetization, as well as a toroidal-core transformer produced in accordance with this method.
The distance between the high-voltage winding and the low-voltage winding needs to be maintained very effectively and reliably in order to avoid interference effects. In order that the insulation between the two windings can be subjected to as high a loading as possible, this insulation needs to be constructed with as few defects as possible. However, this is a problem which has as yet not been solved.
The leakage channel of the windings, that is to say the region between the high-voltage winding and the low-voltage winding, is subject to forces which could possibly result in the formation of cracks in the cast, CONFIRMATION COPY

The invention, further embodiments and further advantages will be described in more detail with reference to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings, in which:
Figure 1 shows an outline of possible cross-sectional shapes of the spacers according to the invention, and - 6d -Figure 2 shows an arrangement of spacers which are connected to a mesh-like reinforcing structure comprising fibers.
Figure 1 illustrates a series of different cross-sectional shapes for the spacers 10 according to the invention which are inserted between the winding layers of the high-voltage winding (not illustrated in any more detail here).
Expediently, these spacers 10 are introduced between the relevant layers as early as during the production of the winding (not illustrated in any more detail) in order thus to ensure that the load distribution or introduction of load as a result of forces caused by temperature fluctuations or else by the magnetic flux in the leakage channel between the individual turns of the windings is made more uniform.
The preferred cross-sectional shapes of the spacers 10 according to the invention are those cross-sections which, owing to their shape, firstly have a sufficiently high elastic section modulus and secondly can be processed easily when constructing the winding layers. Such shapes do not have any sharp-edged regions at which possible stresses could concentrate, but have a harmonious profile, for example a circular shape or rectangular shape with rounded edge regions or an oval shape. In any case, the spacers are formed from electrically nonconductive, highly resistive fibers which therefore have sufficient mechanical strength.
The spacers 10 according to the invention are preferably produced in elongate moldings (likewise not shown in any more detail here), into which the mentioned fibers are inserted and then surrounded by a preferably curing casting compound introduced into he moldings.
Instead of this type of production, the spacers according to the invention can also be produced by means of an already premixed casting compound, i.e. the abovementioned casting compound, for example based on synthetic resins such as polyester resin, is first enriched with fibers of different lengths and then subsequently cast into the relevant moldings. In this case, the fibers which are arranged so as to be distributed uniformly in the casting compound form a fiber-reinforced, high-strength spun fabric with the casting compound.
Figure 2 illustrates a variant according to the invention of the spacers 10 according to the invention, in which variant the spacers 10, which are arranged parallel to one another, are connected to one another by means of a network 12 of high-strength nonconductive fibers 14. In this configuration, the spacers 10 provided are those which have a circular cross section.
The mesh-like fiber structure 12 is in this case connected virtually integrally with the mutually adjacent spacers 10 and thus provides additional reinforcement of the spacers 10 by virtue of said spacers forming a unit with the fiber bundles 14 adjoining the respective meshes, as a result of the production process.
In order to produce these spacers 10 which are reinforced by the mesh 12, provision is made for initially the mesh 12 to be produced from high-strength fibers 14 then for each to be assembled with the moldings (not shown here in any more detail) provided for producing the spacers 10 and then to be surrounded locally by the casting compound provided for producing the spacers 10 when said casting compound is introduced into the moldings for the spacers 10.
In this regard, figure 2 shows two views, namely a side view at the top and a plan view or sectional view at the bottom, the latter running at an angle of 90 with respect to the side view.
The latter illustration shows that the fiber structure has a substantially unchanged thickness at the points of intersection 16 between the fiber bundles 14 forming the mesh 12, while the increased thickness of the spacers 10, which are approximately 150% thicker than the mesh-like fiber structure 12, is clearly apparent at the points of intersection 18 with the spacers 10.

The invention, further embodiments and further advantages will be described in more detail with reference to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings, in which:
Figure 1 shows an outline of possible cross-sectional shapes of the spacers according to the invention, and - 6d -Figure 2 shows an arrangement of spacers which are connected to a mesh-like reinforcing structure comprising fibers.
Figure 1 illustrates a series of different cross-sectional shapes for the spacers 10 according to the invention which are inserted between the winding layers of the high-voltage winding (not illustrated in any more detail here).
Expediently, these spacers 10 are introduced between the relevant layers as early as during the production of the winding (not illustrated in any more detail) in order thus to ensure that the load distribution or introduction of load as a result of forces caused by temperature fluctuations or else by the magnetic flux in the leakage channel between the individual turns of the windings is made more uniform.
The preferred cross-sectional shapes of the spacers 10 according to the invention are those cross-sections which, owing to their shape, firstly have a sufficiently high elastic section modulus and secondly can be processed easily when constructing the winding layers. Such shapes do not have any sharp-edged regions at which possible stresses could concentrate, but have a harmonious profile, for example a circular shape or rectangular shape with rounded edge regions or an oval shape. In any case, the spacers are formed from electrically nonconductive, highly resistive fibers which therefore have sufficient mechanical strength.
The spacers 10 according to the invention are preferably produced in elongate moldings (likewise not shown in any more detail here), into which the mentioned fibers are inserted and then surrounded by a preferably curing casting compound introduced into he moldings.
Instead of this type of production, the spacers according to the invention can also be produced by means of an already premixed casting compound, i.e. the abovementioned casting compound, for example based on synthetic resins such as polyester resin, is first enriched with fibers of different lengths and then subsequently cast into the relevant moldings. In this case, the fibers which are arranged so as to be distributed uniformly in the casting compound form a fiber-reinforced, high-strength spun fabric with the casting compound.
Figure 2 illustrates a variant according to the invention of the spacers 10 according to the invention, in which variant the spacers 10, which are arranged parallel to one another, are connected to one another by means of a network 12 of high-strength nonconductive fibers 14. In this configuration, the spacers 10 provided are those which have a circular cross section.
The mesh-like fiber structure 12 is in this case connected virtually integrally with the mutually adjacent spacers 10 and thus provides additional reinforcement of the spacers 10 by virtue of said spacers forming a unit with the fiber bundles 14 adjoining the respective meshes, as a result of the production process.
In order to produce these spacers 10 which are reinforced by the mesh 12, provision is made for initially the mesh 12 to be produced from high-strength fibers 14 then for each to be assembled with the moldings (not shown here in any more detail) provided for producing the spacers 10 and then to be surrounded locally by the casting compound provided for producing the spacers 10 when said casting compound is introduced into the moldings for the spacers 10.
In this regard, figure 2 shows two views, namely a side view at the top and a plan view or sectional view at the bottom, the latter running at an angle of 90 with respect to the side view.
The latter illustration shows that the fiber structure has a substantially unchanged thickness at the points of intersection 16 between the fiber bundles 14 forming the mesh 12, while the increased thickness of the spacers 10, which are approximately 150% thicker than the mesh-like fiber structure 12, is clearly apparent at the points of intersection 18 with the spacers 10.
