Specification o1 Letters Patent.
Patented March a, 1909.
Application filed June 8, 1907. Serial No. 378,012.
To allpvhom it concern: Be it known that I, CHARLES .LE G. FOR- TESCUE, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident of Wilkmsburg, in the 5 county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Transformer Structures, of
which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to electrical trans- 10' iormers, and it has for its object to provide simple, practical and exceptionally effective means for securing together the parts of the core structure of a transformer and for suprtingnand-ma' taining the coils thereof in invariable relation with respect toeach otherand to the core.
Figure 1, of the accompanying drawin s, is aview, partially in elevation and partia y in vertical section, of a transformer that ema the casing being shown ifiiaetionfor the sake of cleamess of illustration. Fig. 2 is a view, partially in plan and partially in transverse' section, of the ormer shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perof one ofthe parts 1 and Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view 0 a transformer of a modified-term.
The transformer is provided with a lamicore com rising two vertical and substantially paral el legs or members 1 and 2 of cruciform cross section and cross members 3 and 4' that connect their respective ends. At the ends of the legs are 35 brackets 5, each of which, is here shown as comprising three arms 6, 7, and 8' disposed at angles of substantially 120 from each other. The brackets at the opposite ends of each leg are connected by means of angle that are located in the longituangular recesses in the legs together the laminae of the legs of the core, reeing interpose 9 and the core the smaller and serve to clamp the main portion of verselyfibent'anglmpifiQQsJQ b f lliars r ose o 0 am in l oi the legs '3) ti tions. Thesides of the angle iron bars 9 are cut away at their ends, as indicated in Fig. form zflat' strips that project through the end members of the core between the laminae. The respective brackets 5 at the to and the bottom of the core, are connected y meansioftransversely extend- Thus it is seen that side portions 1 e main POlthe core laminae of the transformer are rigidly secured .together and supported by the frame comprising the end brackets 5, the vertical angle iron bars 9, and the cross an le. iron bars 14, eye bolts 15 screwed into t 1e top brackets 5 being provided for the pur pose of lifting the transformer.
Immediately surrounding the respective core legs 1 and 2 and supported concentrically but out of engagement therewith by means of spacing blocks 16, are coils 17 and 18 that constitute the low voltage winding of the transformer, coils and the core legs serving as ducts through which oil or other medium, in which the transformer is immersed, may circulate in order to effect coolin thereof. Mounted concentrica y with the core but out of engagement therewith, as well as all other conducting parts of the transformer, are c linders 19 of insulating material of high ielectric strength, and outside of the c linders 19, and mounted concentrically tlierewith and with the core legs, are a lurality f coils 20 constituting the high vo tage winding of a transformer.
The cylinders 19 and the coils 20 are supported in position by means of blocks 21 that are secured to bars 22, the ends'oi' which are bolted to the arms of the brackets 5 at the top and bottom of the core, the coils 20 being sp ced apart and maintained concentric .with each other by means of spacing blocks that are bound thereto at convenient intervals. The bars 22 support and maintain the coils 20 concentric with the insulating cylinders 19, but out of engagement therewith, means for efieqtin adjustment of their positions being provi ed by means of thin spacing plates 24,; agreater or smaller number of which may be interposed between the ends oi'the arms of the brackets 5 and the bars 22. The pressure applied to the blocks 21 between which the cylinders 19 and the coils 20 are clamped may be adjusted b means of bolts 27 that are screw' threadec through the arms of the brackets 5.
Although the coils and the insulating cylin ders are preferably supported in concentrlc relation to each other and to the core legs, they may also be arrangedeccentricallyi as may be desired in some cases in order to 1ncrease the insulation distance between the inner sides of the two sets of coils which are nearest the top andbottom cross members the spaces between the legs,
. usually employed, and which provide surspaces, the supporting faces with comparatively short paths over whichhigh voltage charges may creep between the windings or between the high voltage winding and the core.
The present arrangement renders the insulation particularly effective between the high voltage winding and the top and bottom cross members of the core, and also between the portions of the windings that are located Within the rectangle formed by the core, because these parts are'separated only by means being applied outside of therectang e of the core, atsuch points as to afford only long surface distances over which charges may creep.
