Abstract

A three-phase transformer according to an embodiment includes a first plate iron core and a second plate iron core disposed opposite each other; a plurality of columnar iron cores disposed between the first plate iron core and the second plate iron core so as to be connected to the first plate iron core or the second plate iron core, the number of the columnar iron cores being an integer multiple of 3, the columnar iron cores being disposed rotation-symmetrically with respect to an axis equidistant from central axes of the columnar iron cores; and coils including a plurality of primary coils and a plurality of secondary coils, the number of the primary coils being an integer multiple of 3, the number of the secondary coils being an integer multiple of 3, the primary coils and the secondary coils being wound on the individual columnar iron cores.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A three-phase transformer comprising:
a first plate iron core and a second plate iron core disposed opposite each other;
a plurality of columnar iron cores disposed between the first plate iron core and the second plate iron core so as to be connected to the first plate iron core or the second plate iron core, the number of the columnar iron cores being an integer multiple of 3, the columnar iron cores being disposed rotation-symmetrically with respect to an axis serving as a rotation axis equidistant from central axes of the columnar iron cores; and
coils including a plurality of primary coils and a plurality of secondary coils A, the number of the primary coils being an integer multiple of 3, the number of the secondary coils A being an integer multiple of 3, the primary coils and the secondary coils A being wound on the individual columnar iron cores, wherein
each of the columnar iron cores is separated into a first columnar iron core portion on which the primary coil is wound, and a second columnar iron core portion on which the secondary coil A is wound,
the second plate iron core has a plurality of third columnar iron core portions and a plurality of secondary coils B wound on the individual third columnar iron core portions, and the secondary coil B has a different winding number from the secondary coil A, and the number of the plurality of third columnar iron core portions is the same as the number of the plurality of column iron cores, and
the first plate iron core or the second plate iron core is rotatable about the rotation axis, so as to selectively switch between a combination of the primary coils and the secondary coils A and a combination of the primary coils and the secondary coils B.

2. The three-phase transformer according to claim 1 , further comprising a cover disposed on outer peripheries of the first plate iron core and the second plate iron core, so as to enclose the first columnar iron core portions, the second columnar iron core portions, the third columnar iron core portions, the primary coils, the secondary coils A, and the secondary coils B.

3. The three-phase transformer according to claim 2 , wherein the cover is made of a magnetic material or a conductive material.

4. The three-phase transformer according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the first plate iron core, the second plate iron core, the columnar iron cores, and the cover is made from a winding core.

5. The three-phase transformer according to claim 1 , further comprising a securing assistant rod member the central axis of which coincides with the axis equidistant from the central axes of the columnar iron cores.

6. The three-phase transformer according to claim 5 , wherein the rod member is made of a magnetic material or a conductive material.

7. The three-phase transformer according to claim 5 , wherein at least one of the first plate iron core, the second plate iron core, the columnar iron cores, and the rod member is made from a winding core.

8. The three-phase transformer according to claim 7 , wherein a rod-shaped central core is disposed at the center of the winding core.

9. The three-phase transformer according to claim 2 , wherein a portion enclosed by the first plate iron core, the second plate iron core, and the cover is filled with an insulating oil or a magnetic fluid.

10. The three-phase transformer according to claim 2 , wherein the columnar iron cores have an air core structure and an opening, and an insulating oil or a magnetic fluid is circulated through the air core structure and the opening in a portion enclosed by the first plate iron core, the second plate iron core, and the cover.
