2 Claims.
My invention relates to spacers for electrical winding coils such as are often used in transformers and reactors. A winding for electrical apparatus of this character is often inthe form 15j of a stack of annular or disk coils which are separated by radial spacing strips to provide spaces or ducts between the coils for the circulation of a cooling and insulating fluid such as air or specially prepared oil. The general objectr of the present invention is to provide an improved coil spacer for disk coils.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 shows*y a transformer with disk coils separated by spacers constructed Vand arranged in accordance with the invention; Fig. 2 is a sectional view 'on the line` 2-2 of Fig. 1; and Figs. 3, 4 and 5 are explanatory perspective detail views of different forms of spacers constructed in accordance with the invention.
Like reference characters" indicate similar parts in the different gures of the drawing.
Sb" The transformer shown in Figs. 1 and 2 includes a magnetic core 10 with windings 11 and 12 formed of stacks of disk coils 13. These coils 13 are arranged in pairs, the two coils of each pair being separated from each other by an an- ?:30' nular sheet 14 of insulating material.V Adjacent pairs of coils 13 are separated by radial spacers 15 which are spaced apart to provide ducts 16 through which a cooling and insulating uid may flow to absorb and'carry away heat from .3'5' vthe coils 13.
The magnetic core 10 has two winding legs 17 which are surrounded by insulating` cylinders 18. The two coil stacks formedby the coils 13 surround the cylinders 18, the inner edges ofthe coils 13 being spaced from the cylinders 18 by spacing strips 19 extending parallel to the axis of the cylinders and interlocked With the inner ends of the radial spacers 15 to hold these radial spacers in place. An insulating and cooling uid in which the transformer may be immersed may thus ow between the inner edges of the coils 13 and the cylinder 18, as well as through the ducts 16 between those'coils which kare spaced apart by the radial spacers 15. I Y
Each of the spacing strips 19 includes a channel 20 formed of fibrous insulating material such as pressboard, the longitudinal edges 21 of the channel being bent outwardly parallel to the plane of the base of the channel. The
The invention provides a rsimple and securely interlocked coil spacer construction and one which is inexpensive because it may be formed entirely by inexpensive sheet material such as common pressboard.
The invention has been explained by describing and illustrating several forms thereof, but it will be obvious that changes may be made without departing from the spirit of the in,- vention and the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is: Y
1.,The combination with a spacer to extend radially between spaced disk coils of ran electrical winding, said spacer having ka bifurcated end, of a channel formed of iibroussheet matey rial and extending through the bifurcated end of said spacer, the two sides of the bifurcated end. of said spacer fitting against the sides of said channel and having notches in their inner edges, and the longitudinal edges of said fibrous channel being bent outwardly into said notches.
2. 'I'he combination with a spacer to extend radially between spaced disk coils of an elec- 2 1,938,421 n edges, and the longitudinal edges of said fibrous trical Winding, said spacer having a bifurcated end, 0I" a channel formed of fibrous sheet material and extending through the bifurcated end of said spacer, the two sides of the bifurcated end of said spacer tting against the sides of said channel and having notches in their inner sides apart.
