Abstract

The scope of the invention is a winding arrangement for an inductive component that consists at least of a core ( 9 ) and of a winding structure placed around the core and consisting of planar winding sheets ( 11 ). Inside the winding structure there is cooling medium that is adapted to transfer excess heat away from the winding.

Claims (13)

1. Winding arrangement for an inductive component, which inductive component comprises at least a core and a winding formed around the core and consisting of essentially planar winding sheets, wherein the winding consists at least of series connected winding layers that consist of the stacked winding sheets, for which series connection the contact areas of the winding layers are contacted electrically and/or insulated by compression, which electrical connection between the winding layers is formed by a connection part located between the winding layers and/or projections extending from the winding sheets, which compression is generated by at least one bar that penetrates through the winding sheets, which bar is electrically insulated from the winding sheets.

2. Winding arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein some winding sheets are in contact with cooling medium flowing between the winding sheets.

3. Winding arrangement according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein cooling medium is air and a space for airflow between the winding sheets is made with a connection part, which connection part is in compression inside a winding stack, which connection part also makes the electrical contact between the winding sheets to be electrically contacted.

4. Winding arrangement according to according to claim 1 , or 2 , wherein the cooling medium is flowing at least on other surface of each winding sheet.

5. Winding arrangement according to according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the cooling medium is liquid that is flowing in cooling elements.

6. Winding arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein some of the winding sheets have projections for cable connections.

7. Winding arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein winding has been manufactured by removing the oxidation from surfaces of the winding sheets by chemical or mechanical means in step ( 41 a ) before the winding sheets are stacked in step ( 41 b ) and compressed together in step ( 41 c ), after which the assembled winding stack is first dipped into a resin in step ( 41 d ), and then heated in step ( 41 e ) to approximately 100 to 200C., advantageously approximately 150C., and then cooled down in step ( 41 f ).

8. Winding arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the removal of oxidation is made by grinding the winding sheets, after which the stacked and compressed winding, and particularly the connection areas are protected with a varnish or similar substance.

9. Winding arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the winding sheet has bendings.

10. Winding arrangement according to according to claim 3 , wherein the cooling medium is flowing at least on other surface of each winding sheet.

11. Winding arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein some of the winding sheets have projections for cable connections.

12. Winding arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein some of the winding sheets have projections for cable connections.

13. Winding arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein some of the winding sheets have projections for cable connections.
