Abstract

A disc winding of a power transformer or a choke is provided. The disc winding includes a plurality of parallel single strand conductors. The working time for bending the strand conductors of cross-overs is reduced by sharing the winding axially in plurality of sections, and the cross-overs within a section are identical twin cross-overs. The strand conductors are bent in two groups, and a standardized twin transposition cross-over is provided between the sections such that the strand conductors are being bent in two groups. The outermost strand conductor is in the first group, and the remaining strand conductors are in the other group.

Claims (12)

1. A disc winding for a power transformer or a choke with cylindrical windings, the disc winding comprising:

a conductor including a plurality of parallel flat strand conductors; and

a plurality of axial sections in which the winding is shared, wherein:

each section comprises a plurality of discs, and each disc comprises a plurality of turns of the conductor, each disc being separated by spacers and the space between each spacer being a spacer span,

each cross-over within a section is a twin cross-over in which the strand conductors are bent in two groups such that at least two of the strand conductors are comprised in the first group bent in a first spacer span, and the remaining strand conductors are comprised in the second group bent in a second spacer span adjacent the first spacer span, and

a twin transposition cross-over is provided between every two axially adjacent sections such that an outermost strand conductor is bent in a third spacer span to be the innermost strand conductor and the remaining strand conductors are bent in another group in a fourth spacer span adjacent the third spacer span.

2. A disc winding as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the number of the sections is a multiple of the parallel strand conductors.

3. A disc winding as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the number of the sections is half of an even number of the parallel strand conductors.

4. A disc winding as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bendings of the outermost strand conductor and the bendings of the remaining strand conductors of the twin cross-over are arranged essentially to an opposite side of an insulating coil cylinder of each other to provide half turns per disc type windings.

5. A disc winding as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the bendings of the outermost strand conductor and the bendings of the remaining strand conductors of the twin cross-over are arranged essentially to an opposite side of an insulating coil cylinder of each other to provide half turns per disc type windings.

6. A disc winding as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the bendings of the outermost strand conductor and the bendings of the remaining strand conductors of the twin cross-over are arranged essentially to an opposite side of an insulating coil cylinder of each other to provide half turns per disc type windings.

7. A disc winding as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the number of the sections is an odd number of the parallel strand conductors.
