Claims12
A support assembly adapted to be attached to two intersecting sections of an metal transformer core, wherein the support assembly includes at least a top section and at least one dependent leg section, and wherein the said top section is adapted to be affixed to one of the intersecting sections of the metal transformer core, and the at least one dependent leg section is adapted to be affixed to the other section of the metal transformer core.
A process for the manufacture of a multi-limbed metal transformer cores, which process includes the steps of:
- providing a multi-limbed metal transformer core,
- providing a support assembly adapted to be attached to two intersecting sections of the multi-limbed metal transformer core, wherein the support assembly includes at least a top section and at least one dependent leg section,
- affixing the support assembly to the multi-limbed metal transformer core.
