Abstract

The invention relates to a liquid-cooled choke comprising a choke core ( 1 ), a choke coil ( 2 ) and a path ( 3 ) for a cooling liquid to cool the choke. The choke core ( 1 ) is divided into at least two parts ( 1 a, 1 b ) arranged in a cooling profile ( 4 ) to which the path ( 3 ) for the cooling liquid is arranged and which at the same time provides the choke with a frame and an assembly jig.

Claims (13)

1. A liquid-cooled choke comprising a choke core, a choke coil and a path for a cooling liquid to cool the choke, wherein the choke core is divided into at least two parts arranged in a cooling profile to which the path for the cooling liquid is arranged and which at the same time provides the choke with a frame and an assembly jig wherein the choke core is formed of two plate packs and the cooling profile comprises recesses for the plate packs on two opposing sides of the profile, whereby the cooling profile extends in between the plate packs and from there to two sides of each plate pack, insulation disposed around the sides of the cooling profile covering the plate packs and two bare sides of the plate packs and the choke coil is positioned on two of the insulation.

2. A choke as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the path for the cooling liquid is arranged in the cooling profile in the middle of the parts of the choke core.

3. A choke as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cooling profile is provided with additional cooling channels at desired points.

4. A choke as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cooling profile is made of aluminum or an aluminum mixture.

5. A liquid-cooled choke comprising a choke core, a choke coil and a path for a cooling liquid to cool the choke, wherein the choke core is divided into at least two parts arranged in a cooling profile to which the path for the cooling liquid is arranged and which at the same time provides the choke with a frame and an assembly jig, wherein the choke core is formed of three plate packs and the cooling profile comprises on its edges or circumference recesses for the plate packs at regular intervals, the plate packs being symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the cooling profile, whereby the cooling profile extends into the middle of the plate packs and from there to two sides of each plate pack, an insulation is disposed around the profile parts between the plate packs and bare sides of each plate pack and the choke coil is located on top of the insulation.

6. A choke as claimed in claim 5 , wherein three separate chokes are arranged in the same cooling profile column, whereby the plate packs of the chokes on top of each other are insulated from each other by means of protection insulations.

7. A choke as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the path for the cooling liquid is arranged in the cooling profile in the middle of the parts of the choke core.

8. A choke as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the cooling profile is provided with additional cooling channels at desired points.

9. A choke as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the cooling profile is made of aluminum or an aluminum mixture.

10. A liquid-cooled choke comprising a choke core, a choke coil and a path for a cooling liquid to cool the choke, wherein the choke core is divided into at least two parts arranged in a cooling profile to which the path for the cooling liquid is arranged and which at the same time provides the choke with a frame and an assembly jig, wherein the choke core is formed of three columns and the cooling profile comprises a circular arch having three openings at regular intervals, into which the columns are positioned, the surfaces of the columns being lined with an insulation and a coil arranged on top of the insulation.

11. A choke as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the path for the cooling liquid is arranged in the cooling profile in the middle of the parts of the choke core.

12. A choke as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the cooling profile is provided with additional cooling channels at desired points.

13. A choke as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the cooling profile is made of aluminum or an aluminum mixture.
