Abstract
An electrical component with winding conductors, particularly a transformer, includes a cooling circuit with a heat exchanging unit. Cooling elements of the heat exchanging unit can be flowed around by a first liquid, particularly seawater, thus enabling an effective exchange of the heat resulting during the operation of the electrical component. The novel electrical component is configured particularly for offshore uses wherein the electrical component is placed at different levels of a platform and thus requires only a small amount of space.

1-11. (canceled)
An assembly, comprising:
- an electrical component with winding conductors;
- a cooling circuit with a heat exchanging unit for cooling said electrical component, said heat exchanging unit including at least one or a plurality of cooling elements disposed for a liquid flowing around said one or more cooling elements;
- wherein said at least one cooling element is dimensioned and/or said plurality of cooling elements are spaced with a given spacing distance therebetween to ensure that the liquid flows in turbulent flow around said cooling element.
