Abstract
A winding construction for a transformer includes a single frame transformer core, an insulator layer, a primary winding, and a secondary winding. The secondary winding is wound with turns wound in a tilted arrangement on the single frame transformer core, whereby it can exhibit the same effects as the conventional partition or layer type transformer but without the need for an additional partition layer and achieves enhanced performance and reduced volume.
Claims6
A method for forming a winding upon an elongated core of a transformer, wherein the winding comprises "n" layers wound successively outwardly of the core and each layer has "m" turns, comprising the steps of:
- forming a first portion of a first layer of turns on said core, starting at a first end of said core, said first portion of said first layer comprising (n+1) turns, followed by a first portion of a second layer comprising one less turn than said first portion of an immediately adjacent underlying layer of turns and being wound from said first end of the core thereover, said first step being thus performed until the respective first portions of (n-1) layers are wound and their (n-1)th layer has three turns;
- forming three turns of the nth layer on the (n-1)th layer;
- forming a succession of (n) turns respectively wound outwardly of the core and respectively adjacent the last turn of each corresponding layer, until a total of (m) turns of the first layer are formed;
- and
- forming turns of each of the second through the (n)th layer respectively outwardly of the core and respectively adjacent the last turn of each corresponding layer, until each layer has (m) turns, thus completing a winding which comprises (n.times.m) turns in (n) layers of (m) turns each with never more than (n+1) successive turns in parallel with each other.
