Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A static apparatus is provided in which a partial discharge, if occurred in a winding end portion, is unlikely to lead to insulation breakdown. The windings and core of a static apparatus are housed in a tank filled with coolant. The winding is fixed by upper and lower parts supporting winding. A continuous coolant duct is formed in a section embracing the winding and the upper and lower parts supporting winding. A coolant duct from the wiring, extending through the upper or lower parts supporting winding and connected with the coolant space is configured in a structure in which toroidal ducts in multiple tiers are connected in a vertical direction of the winding. Connecting holes of one toroidal duct and of its next toroidal duct are staggered with respect to each other and spaced at intervals which are longer than the width of the toroidal ducts.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A static apparatus comprising: a tank; coolant being sealed in the tank; a core of the static apparatus, housed in the coolant, having at least two core legs and windings, the windings being wound around each of the core legs, the core of the static apparatus being fastened and fixed by core fastening parts at the upper and lower ends; and windings supporting members, which are of insulating material, being provided respectively between the windings and the core fastening parts, wherein the windings and the windings supporting members have coolant ducts, at least one of coolant ducts provided in the windings supporting members being toroidal duct formed in multiple tiers in a vertical direction, the toroidal ducts being connected to each other by connecting holes in one or more places, each of the connecting holes being arranged at intervals which are longer than the width of the toroidal ducts. 2. The static apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein one of the toroidal ducts is formed between the end portion of the winding and a U-shaped insulation element which is placed over the winding, and wherein another toroidal duct is further formed between the U-shaped insulation element and another U-shaped insulation element which is placed over the U-shaped insulation element. 3. The static apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the U-shaped insulation element is formed with two L-shaped insulation elements. 4. The static apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising duct supporting members between duct walls of the toroidal ducts. 5. The static apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising duct supporting members between duct walls of the toroidal ducts. 6. The static apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising duct supporting members between duct walls of the toroidal ducts. 7. The static apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the duct supporting members have a corrugated cross section in the axial direction of the winding. 8. The static apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the duct supporting members have a corrugated cross section in the axial direction of the winding. 9. The static apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the duct supporting members have a corrugated cross section in the axial direction of the winding. 10. The static apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the duct supporting members have a circular cross section in the axial direction of the winding. 11. The static apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the duct supporting members have a circular cross section in the axial direction of the winding. 12. The static apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the duct supporting members have a circular cross section in the axial direction of the winding. 13. The static apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the duct supporting members have a corrugated cross section in the radial direction of the winding. 14. The static apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the duct supporting members have a corrugated cross section in the radial direction of the winding. 15. The static apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the duct supporting members have a corrugated cross section in the radial direction of the winding. 16. The static apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the duct supporting members are a combination of an element having a corrugated cross section in the axial direction of the winding and an element having a corrugated cross section in a circumferential direction of the winding. 17. The static apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the duct supporting members are a combination of an element having a corrugated cross section in the axial direction of the winding and an element having a corrugated cross section in a circumferential direction of the winding. 18. The static apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the duct supporting members are a combination of an element having a corrugated cross section in the axial direction of the winding and an element having a corrugated cross section in a circumferential direction of the winding.
