摘要 |
The invention relates to transformers and has particular applicability to high-current furnace transformers.
<??>The transformer tank (7) has an opening (9) substantially closed with a conductive panel (11) which is insulated from the tank, the coil terminal leads (31, 33) of one polarity extending outwardly of the tank through the panel in insulated relationship with respect to the latter, and the coil terminal leads (35) of opposite polarity being electrically connected to the conductive panel, whereby eddy loss resulting from current passing through the panel is greatly reduced. Furthermore, the terminal leads (35) of said opposite polarity are connected to the conductive panel through a conductive tubular structure (17) which surround the first-mentioned terminal leads (31, 33) to provide magnetic shielding.
