Coil Former for a high-voltge transformer

A method of winding coil sections comprising the steps of:

• (1) providing a coil former which includes a hollow central body, winding chambers axially arranged on the central body, flanges which separate the winding chambers, the flanges being provided with passage slots which extend from winding chamber to winding chamber, connection pins on a connection strip at one end of said body, an additional wall member disposed over the hollow body which extends parallel to a wall of said body from a remotest winding chamber at the other end of said body to the connection strip and which forms, in conjunction with said body, a wire guiding gap which is opened at a side of the connection strip and at on one of its longitudinal sides, and wherein the flanges are slotted in a prolongation of the open wire guiding gap, and further providing a wire guide;
• (2) then deploying a winding wire with the wire guide from one of the connection pins along the open longitudinal side of the wire guiding gap until it reaches the most remote winding chamber;
• (3) then sliding the full length of the winding wire thus deployed into the gap with the wire guide;
• (4) then fully winding the most remote winding chamber;
• and
• (5) then winding in successive winding chambers until the connection strip is reached.
