Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for mounting transformer windings on the core legs. After all the windings for a core leg have been pre-assembled, they are pressed in a separate press to the desired height, whereafter the windings are provided with screw clamps or the like, applicable from the outside, which hold the windings in a compressed position until they have been applied on a core leg and the upper yoke of the transformer has been interleaved and the press beams been mounted. Thereafter, the screw clamps are removed.
Claims4
Method for mounting a prepressed annular complete winding unit on a transformer core, comprising the steps of:
- prepressing said winding unit to a first compressing pressure with a separate winding press within a range of approximately 50% to 65% of a final desired compressing pressure required for a finished transformer;
- retaining said winding unit in a compressed condition at said first compressing pressure by adjustable clamping members engaging respective opposite upper and lower end faces of the winding unit such that said clamping members extend outside thereof;
- mounting said winding unit still in said first compressed condition together with said clamping members onto a transformer core such that said lower winding unit end face rests on a lower yoke and press beam;
- interleaving an upper yoke with said upper transformer core end face;
- engaging an upper press beam with said upper yoke;
- removing said adjustable clamping members;
- and then
- further compressing said winding unit to said final desired compressing pressure.
