Abstract

A winding assembly for a transformer, in particular with a medium operating voltage of Um≥79.5 kV, wherein the winding assembly includes at least one winding, which ends in a winding conductor, where the winding conductor is connected to a switching line, which is configured to interconnect the winding to other windings, and where the connection of the switching line to the winding conductor is arranged inside the winding so as to reduce the danger of partial discharges and flashovers in the high-voltage end-line region for high-temperature applications.

Claims (22)

1. A winding assembly for a transformer having a medium operating voltage of Um≥72.5 kV, comprising:

a winding conductor;

at least one winding which ends in the winding conductor, the winding conductor being connected to a switching line which is configured to connect the winding to other windings; and

a connecting element which establishes the connection between the switching line and the winding conductor, the connecting element being surrounded by an electrical shielding;

wherein the connection of the switching line to the winding conductor is arranged inside the winding;

wherein the electrical shielding also surrounds a part of the winding conductor adjoining the connecting element and a part of the switching line adjoining the connecting element; and

wherein the electrical shielding, the part of the winding conductor adjoining the connecting element and the part of the switching line adjoining the connecting element are surrounded by a common insulation.

2. The winding assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connection between the switching line and the winding conductor is a crimp connection.

3. The winding assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electrical shielding comprises a conductive layer which at least surrounds the connecting element.

4. The winding assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein part of the at least one winding is still located both radially outside a connection of the switching line to the winding conductor and also axially before and after this connection of the switching line to the winding conductor.

5. The winding assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein part of the at least one winding is still located both radially inside a connection of the switching line to the winding conductor and also axially before and after this connection of the switching line to the winding conductor.

6. The winding assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein part of the winding is still located radially inside, radially outside, axially before and axially after a connection of the switching line to the winding conductor.

7. A transformer having the winding assembly as claimed in claim 1 .

8. The transformer as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the transformer is a power transformer.

9. The transformer as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the power transformer is an oil-filled distribution transformer.

10. A winding assembly for a transformer having a medium operating voltage of Um≥72.5 kV, comprising:

a winding conductor;

at least one winding which ends in the winding conductor, the winding conductor being connected to a switching line which is configured to connect the winding to other windings; and

a connecting element which establishes the connection between the switching line and the winding conductor, the connecting element being surrounded by an electrical shielding;

wherein the connection of the switching line to the winding conductor is arranged inside the winding;

wherein the electrical shielding comprises a conductive layer which at least surrounds the connecting element; and

wherein the electrical shielding, the part of the winding conductor adjoining the connecting element and the part of the switching line adjoining the connecting element are surrounded by a common insulation.
