Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

At least two winding modules nested hollow-cylindrically one inside the other and extending around a common winding axis, wherein said winding modules are spaced radially apart from one another within at least one hollow-cylindrical cooling channel arranged therebetween by means of insulation strips, wherein the insulation strips have a cross-sectional form which avoid a surface profile radially with respect to the winding axis, the insulation strips including one of a fiber-reinforced epoxy, polyester resin, or from an unreinforced thermoplastic material.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A transformer winding comprising: at least two winding modules nested hollow-cylindrically one inside the other and extending around a common winding axis, wherein said winding modules are spaced radially apart from one another within at least one hollow-cylindrical air cooling channel arranged therebetween through insulation strips, wherein the insulation strips extend along an axial length of said winding modules and have a cross-sectional form that predominately avoids a surface profile that is radial with respect to the winding axis, the insulation strips including one of a fiber-reinforced epoxy, polyester resin, or from an unreinforced thermoplastic material, wherein the at least one cooling channel has a radially inner wall and a radially outer wall, and wherein the insulation strips have one of an X-shaped or Y-shaped cross section. 2. The transformer winding as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insulation strips have a cross section with saw-tooth-like outer edges. 3. The transformer winding as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insulation strips have a flattened form, at least one of a radially inner end, and a radially outer end. 4. The transformer winding as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the winding modules are galvanically connected to one another. 5. A transformer, comprising at least one transformer core and one transformer winding as claimed in one of claim 1 .
