Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a cable for a high voltage winding of an electromagnetic induction device. The cable includes a conductor having a width w, and a shield arranged around at least a portion of the conductor, wherein in any cross-section of the conductor the conductor has rounded corners with a radius r in the range w/5<r≤w/3. A high voltage electromagnetic induction device having a cable forming a high voltage winding is also disclosed.

Claims (48)

1. A cable for a high voltage winding of an electromagnetic induction device, comprising:

a conductor having a width w, and

a shield arranged around at least a portion of the conductor,

wherein in any cross-section of the conductor the conductor has rounded corners with a radius r in the range w/5<r<w/3,

wherein a space between the conductor and the shield is defined at the rounded corners,

wherein the shield is in contact with an outer surface of the conductor, and

wherein the outer surface of the conductor is between the rounded corners.

2. The cable as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the magnetic material is a polymer magnet.

3. The cable as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the outer surface comprises a first sidewall and a second sidewall that is spaced apart from the first sidewall by the width w,

wherein the rounded corners comprise at least four rounded corners,

wherein the space between the conductor and the shield includes a plurality of spaces that are arranged at the at least four corners, and

wherein the first sidewall is between a first two of the at least four corners and the second sidewall is between a second two of the at least four corners that is different from the first two of the at least four corners.

4. The cable as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the space formed outside any rounded corner is filled with a magnetic material.

5. The cable as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the magnetic material has a relative magnetic permeability μr>1.

6. The cable as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the magnetic material is a magnetic gel.

7. The cable as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the magnetic material comprises magnetic dust or glue mixed with epoxy.

8. The cable as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the magnetic material is a magnetic fluid.

9. A high voltage electromagnetic induction device comprising:

a magnetic core having a limb, and

a cable including:

a conductor having a width w, the cross-sectional shape of the conductor being rectangular except for the corners, wherein the width w is defined as the distance between the long sides of the conductor, and

a shield arranged along at least one of the sides of the conductor,

wherein in any cross-section of the conductor the conductor has rounded corners with a radius r in the range w/5<r≤w/3,

wherein the cable is wound around the limb, forming a high voltage winding, and

wherein a space between the conductor and the shield is defined at the rounded corners,

wherein the shield is in contact with an outer surface of the conductor, and

wherein the outer surface of the conductor is between the rounded corners.

10. The high voltage electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the high voltage electromagnetic induction device is a high voltage transformer or a high voltage reactor.

11. The high voltage electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 9 ,

wherein a space between the conductor and the shield is defined at the rounded corners,

wherein the space formed outside any rounded corner is filled with a magnetic material and

wherein the magnetic material is a polymer magnet.

12. The high voltage electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 9 ,

wherein a space between the conductor and the shield is defined at the rounded corners,

wherein the space formed outside any rounded corner is filled with a magnetic material, and wherein the magnetic material is a magnetic gel.

13. The high voltage electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein a space between the conductor and the shield is defined at the rounded corners, and wherein the magnetic material comprises magnetic dust or glue mixed with epoxy.

14. The high voltage electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 9 ,

wherein a space between the conductor and the shield is defined at the rounded corners,

wherein the space formed outside any rounded corner is filled with a magnetic material, and

wherein the magnetic material is a magnetic fluid.

15. The high voltage electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 9 ,

wherein the outer surface comprises a first sidewall and a second sidewall that is spaced apart from the first sidewall by the width w, and

wherein the shield contacts the first and second sidewalls between the spaces.

16. The high voltage electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the space formed outside any rounded corner is filled with a magnetic material.

17. The high voltage electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the magnetic material has a relative magnetic permeability μr>1.

18. The high voltage electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the magnetic material is a polymer magnet.

19. The high voltage electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the magnetic material is a magnetic gel.

20. The high voltage electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the magnetic material comprises magnetic dust or glue mixed with epoxy.
