<p>A distribution transformer having a slot-and-tab core frame assembly. The core frame (17) encloses a transformer core (11) having at least one phase and provides compression on the core yokes and end members of the transformer to bind the assembly together. First and second clamps (10, 24) of the core frame contain receiving slots (34) for the tabbed (18, 28), longitudinal side supports (20), creating an interlock when connected. For larger transformers, the tabbed side supports may be alternatively comprised of a subassembly of end plates, cams, and tabbed locking plates, encompassing a sturdy locking mechanism.</p> |
