Abstract:
An enclosure for a dry-type transformer includes a bottom wall, a plurality of sidewalls coupled to and extending from the bottom wall, and a top wall coupled to the sidewalls so as to be spaced from the bottom wall. The top wall includes an opening therein. The bottom wall, sidewalls and top wall define an enclosed space for housing a dry-type transformer. Pressure relief structure is associated with the top wall and has at least one flap constructed and arranged in a closed position, to cover the opening. In the event an arc flash occurs in the enclosure creating gas pressure in the enclosure, the flap is constructed and arranged to move from the closed position to an opened position due to the gas pressure acting thereon, permitting the gas pressure to escape from the top of the enclosure through the opening.
Abstract:
A method provides a radial drop winding for an open wound transformer. A plurality of non-electrically conductive posts are arranged to define an interior space. Each post is of generally L-shape having a main body and a leg extending from a bottom end of the main body. During an open winding process, conductive wire is dropped to build up lengthwise along the posts to define at least one generally cylindrical winding segment supported by the legs of the posts.

Abstract:
A transformer (10) includes a ferromagnetic core (14); winding structure (12) mounted on the core; electrical terminals (40, 40′) connected to the winding structure; a fast transient mitigator circuit (52) including an impedance circuit serially connected between one of the terminals and the winding structure, and a capacitor connected from the one terminal to external ground. The mitigator circuit is constructed and arranged to reduce a frequency spectrum and magnitude of fast transients. An encasement (16), of an insulating resin, commonly encapsulates the core, the winding structure and at least the impedance circuit of the mitigator circuit.
Abstract:
A dry type cast coil transformer (28) includes a hollow body (29), a dome structure (26) extending from the body, and undulation structure (30), defining at least a portion of an outer surface of the dome structure, constructed and arranged to increase an electrical track path in the dome structure.

Abstract:
A method provides a medium voltage radial drop winding for an open wound transformers. The method arranges a plurality of non-electrically conductive supports to extend outwardly from a periphery of an imaginary geometric shape so as to define an interior space. Each support includes a pair of opposing legs disposed in spaced relation and a bottom leg coupling the opposing legs to define at least one elongated slot between the opposing legs. Each slot has an open end. Conductive wire is dropped into the open end of each of the slots to substantially fill the slots and define at least one generally cylindrical winding segment carried by the supports.
