That is, each of the small cooling plates 10 covers the laminated surface 3 of the core body 1 through the adhesive 16, the plurality of insulating plates 15, and the filler layer 17.

According to the said Example 1, there exists the following effect.
An insulating plate 15 was provided between one side of the laminated surface 3 of the core body 1 and the large cooling plate 4. Therefore, since the core body 1 and the large cooling plate 4 are electrically insulated, overcurrent generated in the large cooling plate 4 and the core body 1 is prevented as shown in FIG. In addition, the insulating plate 15 has a high thermal conductivity. Therefore, the heat generated in the iron core body 1 is smoothly transferred to the large cooling plate 4 through the insulating plate 15, so that the heat dissipation capability of the large cooling plate 4 is prevented from being greatly reduced due to the influence of the insulating plate 15. The same applies to the small cooling plate 10.

  Since the filler layer 17 is provided between the laminated surface 3 of the iron core body 1 and the insulating plate 15 on one side of the laminated surface 3, air is absorbed according to the filler layer 17 absorbing fine irregularities on the laminated surface 3. Exclude. In addition, a high thermal conductivity material was used as the filler 17. Therefore, since heat is smoothly transferred from the iron core body 1 to the large cooling plate 4 through the insulating plate 15 and the filler layer 17, the heat dissipation capability of the large cooling plate 4 is improved. In addition, since the insulating layer is used as the filler layer 17, it is possible to prevent the insulating performance from being deteriorated due to the influence of the filler layer 17. The same applies to the small cooling plate 10.

  Since the insulating plate 15 and the filler layer 17 are used in combination, even if the filler layer 17 melts and falls off due to the influence of heat from the iron core body 1 in the process of continuing the operation of the transformer and the reactor, the insulating plate 15 remains. Accordingly, the iron core body 1 and the large cooling plate 4 remain electrically insulated, so that an overcurrent is reliably prevented from occurring in the iron core body 1. The same applies to the small cooling plate 10.

  The insulating plate 15 was attached to one surface of the large cooling plate 4 with a highly heat conductive adhesive 16. Therefore, the amount of heat transferred from the iron core body 1 to the large cooling plate 4 through the insulating plate 15 is prevented from being greatly reduced by the influence of the adhesive 16, and thus the heat radiation capability of the large cooling plate 4 is prevented from being lowered. The same applies to the small cooling plate 10.

  When a wound iron core is used as the iron core body 1, the work man-hours are improved as compared with the case where a laminated iron core is used. Moreover, since heat is transferred from each of the plurality of winding plates 2 to the large cooling plate 4 through the filler layer 17, the insulating plate 15, and the adhesive 16, the air layer is excluded from the heat transfer path. Therefore, since the thermal conductivity from the iron core body 1 to the large cooling plate 4 is improved, the heat dissipation capability of the large cooling plate 4 is also improved. The same applies to the small cooling plate 10.

  The cooling pipe 5 of the large cooling plate 4 is provided with an inner cooling portion 10 along the inner peripheral portion of the core body 1. Although the inner peripheral portion of the core body 1 has a shorter magnetic path than the remaining portions and is likely to increase in temperature, the inner cooling portion 10 cools the inner peripheral portion of the core body 1, so that the temperature increase of the core body 1 is increased. Efficiently suppressed.
