Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transformer-core, comprising at least three hollow-cylindrical rectangular shaped core-parts wound from a magnetic band-like material, wherein two opposed limb areas and an upper and lower yoke area are formed along a circumferential path, wherein the core-parts comprise one first and at least one second slanted area parallel to the circumferential path in the respective limb area and wherein the at least three core-parts are connected according to a polygonal layout at their respective first slanted areas, which are arranged adjacently face to face.
  • FIG. 2 of EP 2 395 521 A1 and Fig. 3 or Fig. 4 of KR 101 026 357 B1 shows three core-parts whereas each core-parts is wound from a band-like material so that the core-parts has rounded corners and is shaped essentially like a rectangle.
  • transformers for power transmission are rated for voltage levels of for example 10kV, 60kV 110kV or above, whereas the rated power amounts for example 1MVA, 10MVA or even 100MVA.
  • Transformer cores for such transformers are typically based on stacked metal sheets of a thickness of for example 0,2mm ... 0.3mm Due to a permanent magnetic re-orientation during operation of such transformer core magnetic losses are produced, which have also a heating effect on the transformer core.
  • a transformer core made from an amorphous material provides reduced core-losses in comparison to a standard transformer core.
  • Amorphous material is available typically as band-like refractory material, which is extremely sensitive against any mechanical stress and has a thickness of for example 30 ⁇ m or less.
  • an amorphous transformer core has to be wound from such a band-like material, whereas the width of such band might amount for example 30cm and whereas several thousand layers have to be wound.
  • a wound amorphous transformer core is sensitive to any mechanical stress produced for example also by mechanical collisions. But also wearing the weight of the transformer as such has considered being mechanical stress.
  • Transformer cores of an amorphous material have to be cooled during operation, since the effect of reduced core losses is only gained in a temperature range of lower than 140° for example, otherwise the core losses will increase disadvantageously. Due to the high fragility of an amorphous transformer core and due to the limitation of the available width of the band-like amorphous material the maximum rated power of a transformer with amorphous transformer core is limited to 10MVA in the moment.
  • transformer cores can be constructed according to a polygonal layout, a three phase transformer preferably according to a triangular layout. Due to such a preferably complete symmetrical construction also the electrical behavior of such a transformer is symmetrical. Additional advantages are gained by a more compact and space-saving arrangement.
  • a polygonal respectively triangular transformer-core is subject to a reduced stability, especially in the case that it is formed by belonging core parts.
  • core parts are easier to manufacture, on the other hand the core parts as such are more fragile due to the slanted areas and a mechanically stable connection of adjacent core parts is difficult.

  • Patent application KR 101 026 357 B1 is disclosing a transformer with triangular core composed of three core parts, wherein a gap is foreseen inbetween adjacent core parts to keep a respective magnetic flux in the respective core part.
  • a transformer core with polygonal layout has a reduced stability and in case of an amorphous transformer core which is made from a wound band-like amorphous material moreover an extremely fragile structure.
  • a polygonal transformer core especially an amorphous polygonal transformer core, with increased mechanical stability.
  • This problem is solved by a transformer core of the aforementioned kind. This is characterized in that at least one flat plate is foreseen in each limb area, which is connected even and stiff with a respective adjacent slanted area.
  • the basic idea of this invention consists in increasing the mechanical stability respectively stiffness of such a transformer core by connecting a flat plate on a belonging slanted area, which is characterized by a reduced mechanical stability compared to a non-slanted area.
  • the flat plate and the slanted area have to be adapted concerning their basic shape.
  • the cross section in the limb area of a belonging core part is shaped in that way that no or at least nearly no gap is built inbetween first slanted areas of adjacent core parts.
  • the adjacent core-parts are easier and more stable to connect on one side and on the other side the magnetic active cross section of a limb, which is formed by two belonging limb sections of adjacent core-parts, is increased.
  • a core part with round corners, that's layout corresponds more to an oval than to a rectangular shape has also to be seen as rectangular shaped within the frame of this invention.
  • the magnetic band-like material is comparable to typical metal sheets of stacked transformer cores and has a thickness of for example 0,2mm or 0,3mm.
  • the mechanical stability of a wound core-part is reduced compared to a stacked transformer core and is stabilized in an advantageous way by the invention.
  • transformer core The principles of a transformer core according to the invention can also be used for a reactor core for example.
  • the wound magnetic band-like material is an amorphous material, which is significantly more fragile than comparable shaped metal sheets. Moreover, the thickness of layers of such amorphous material is significantly lower, for example 30 ⁇ m or less. Thus the effect of mechanical stabilization of an amorphous core-part according to the invention is once more increased.
  • At least one plate is connected even and stiff at least on one of their both flat sides with the belonging adjacent slanted area by a glued bond.
  • a glue based connection is rather easy to manufacture whereas at least most of the layers of the wound band-like material are fixed therewith.
  • Glue in its liquid state is filling any unevenness on the slanted areas and enables a mechanical connection with a high mechanical stability.
  • the flat plate connected to a slanted area of a core-part comprises some holes, long-holes or other cut-outs.
  • the mechanical stability is not reduced therewith, but the weight of the transformer is reduced in an advantageous way therewith.
  • the belonging first slanted areas are connected even and stiff with a belonging flat plate.
  • the mechanical stabilizing effect of a plate is highest at the first slanted areas since also the connection inbetween adjacent core-parts are realized by using those first areas.
  • Such a connection could be realized for example by a tape-like material, which is wound around adjacent core sections of adjacent core-parts so that a permanent pressure force is applied on adjacent plates.
  • first slanted areas are connected even and stiff to the same plate inbetween them.
  • Such connection could be realized for examples from both sides by a glue bond.
  • the mechanical stability of the transformer core will be once more increased. It is not required to reopen such a core for arranging a coil on a belonging transformer limb since a conductor of such a coil can also be wound around a limb of a closed core.

  • At least one plate is connected even and stiff to a first slanted area and is extending over the dimension of the respective first area so that an overlaying area is formed. Since the desired magnetic characteristics of an amorphous transformer core strongly depend of not exceeding a certain temperature range, an adequate cooling of the transformer is required. By forming such overlapping areas, an additional surface for heat exchange with the environment is gained.
  • At least one extending plate is bent in the overlaying area.
  • the mechanical stability of such a plate for example connected to a respective first slanted area, is increased once again.
  • an additional cooling effect is gained with less required space.
  • the limbs formed in the respective limb areas are surrounded by respective second slanted areas which are connected even and stiff with belonging plates.

Furthermore a mechanical protection of the limb is provided therewith. Such a protection is of special interest, if the conductor of a belonging coil is wound around the limb of a ready manufactured transformer coil. In this case rotating movement is applied on the coil
  • adjacent second slanted areas are connected even and stiff with a common plate.
  • a common plate is overlapping slanted areas of both adjacent core-parts so that the mechanical connection of the core-parts is improved therewith.
