Abstract
Abstract In sheet-wound transformer coils, excessive ohmic losses due to high current density at the sheet edges caused by a radial magnetic leakage field are avoided by adding apparatus adjacent the edges which may comprise individual strips that are transposed as the coil is wound. In one alternative embodiment, the apparatus adjacent the edges comprises separate parallel strips of high magnetic permeability material assembled in conjunction with the coils. In another alternative embodiment, wire-wound coils are employed at each edge of the sheet-wound coils.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
An electrical transformer comprising: at least one conductive sheet overlaid by insulation; a closed loop magnetic core, said conductive sheet being wound continuously in a plurality of turns about said core; and a plurality of axially-oriented planar strips of low magnetic reluctance electrically insulated from each other and directed from said closed loop magnetic core substantially perpendicular to the plane of said closed loop magnetic core, said strips being situated closely adjacent at least one substantially entire axial edge of said turns and carrying a large radial component of the magnetic flux leakage field established by current flow through said conductive sheet.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
An electrical transformer comprising: at least one conductive sheet overlaid by insulation; a closed loop magnetic core, said conductive sheet being wound continuously in a plurality of turns about said core; and a plurality of axially-oriented planar strips of low magnetic reluctance electrically insulated from each other and directed from said closed loop magnetic core substantially perpendicular to the plane of said closed loop magnetic core, said strips being situated closely adjacent at least one substantially entire axial edge of said turns and carrying a large radial component of the magnetic flux leakage field established by current flow through said conductive sheet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
124 words
An electrical transformer comprising: a closed loop core of magnetic material; a first coil wound about said core, said first coil being formed from a first conductive sheet overlaid by insulation; a second coil wound about said first coil, said second coil including a second conductive sheet overlaid by insulation; and a plurality of axially-oriented planar strips of low magnetic reluctance electrically insulated from each other and directed from said closed loop core substantially perpendicular to the plane of said closed loop core, said strips being situated closely adjacent at least one substantially entire axial edge of each of said first and second coils for carrying a large radial component of the magnetic flux leakage field established by current flow through said conductive sheet.
