COBIBEIIEL 'D INSULATOR AND TRANSFORMER.
Application filed March 21, 1918. Serial 130. 223,705.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROYAL E. FRIGKEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Combination lnsulators and Transformers, of which the following is a full, clear, concise, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.
My invention relates to insulators for electrical wires or conductors, and also to elec trical transformers.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide an arrangement or structure which will serve both as a terminal and insulator for electrical conductors and also as an electrical transformer for transforming electrical energy.
Another object of the invention is to pro duce a very simple, compact and thoroughly practicable construction.
Another object of the invention is to insulate the primary and secondary conductors eflectively from each other.
Another object of the invention is to secure a high degree of efliciency and a low cost of construction and maintenance.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a combined conductor terminal or insulator and electrical transformer;
Fig. 2 is a vertical section of a portion of the same on an enlarged scale;
Figs. 3, 4 and 5 are horizontal sections taken on lines 3 3, 4-4, and 5-5, respectively in Fig. 2;
Fig. 6 is a vertical section of a portion of a modified form of device; and
Fig. 7 is a cross section taken on line 7-7 inFig. 6.
Referring to the drawings I show in Fig. 1 an arrangement in which my invention is utilized upon the top of a pole 1, although it will be understood, of course, that the invention may be used in other ways.
On the pole 1 is a cross arm 2 on which are mounted two upright members 3 and 4: which in turn support petticoat insulators 5 and 6, respectively. The members 3 and 4 are iron or steel,.or some other magnetic material. Between them is extended a cross piece 7 which is secured by bolts or rivets 8. The cross piece 7 serves as the core of one winding 9 of a transformer, the winding 9 being preferably the secondary winding. Another cross piece 10 is mounted so as to extend between the members 3 and 4, bein for example, mounted upon the tops of the insulators 5 and 6. As shown more in detail in Fig. 2, the member 10 is bolted to a cap 11 which encloses the upper part'of the insulator 6. A strap or band 12 extends around the cap 11 and serves as a dead-end for conductors 18 and 19. Cement 14: is preferably interposed between the cap 11 and the top of the insulator 6. The latter is shown consisting of a well known type of insulator having four different sections 6, 6*, 6, and 6, superposed upon one another and cemented together. As a convenient arrangement for mounting the insulator 6 upon the top of the member 5, I show the latter provided w1th a projection 16 which fits into a suitable socket in the insulator. It will be understood that the construction shown in Fig. 2 and just described is employed in connec= tion with the insulator 5, as well as in connection with the insulator 6 illustrated. Upon the cross piece 10 which is made of iron or steel or other suitable magnetic material, there is mounted a coil 17 of wire which is adapted to cooperate with the coil 9.to form the transformer. Thus it the coil 9 is the secondary, as previously stated, the coil 17 would be, the primary. The cross piece 10 is preferably made of laminated iron, as shown in Fig. 3; The cross piece 2 and upright members 3 and 4 are also preferably of laminated iron, as shown in Fig. 5, in order to secure the advantages of a laminated core as well known in transformer construction.
The primary coil 17 may be included in the line circuit as a partof the same, such line wires being shown at 18 and 19, and the connections between the same and the coil 17 being shown at 20 and 21, respectively. Holding wires 22 and 23 may be used to take the strain off the wires 18 and 19 by connecting the same with the straps 12 on the insulators 5 and 6. When the coil 17 is in a line circuit of comparatively high potential it is desirable that the associated metal parts be kept at the same potential as the coil. To accomplish this I prefer to deadend conductor 23 to the band 12'over a metallic cable eve. Suitable insulators are used between conductor 22 and the band 12, and
also between conductor 20 and other metal parts so that the coil 17 is connected to the metal part at only the one place referred to. For a similar reason the coil 9 is connected to the associated metal parts at one point, preferably on the upright 3. The turns of wire in the coils 9 and 17 are preferably insulated from each other and from the metal cores by suitable layers of insulating material 9 and 17, respectively.
Thus it will be seen that the upright members 3 and 4 with the cross pieces and 10 form a magnetic circuit which has two gaps in it formed by the top portlons of the 1nsulators 5 and 6; the caps 11 being connected and in contact with the insulating material of the insulators, and such material extending to the top of the member 16. These caps do not prevent the flow of magnetic flux, however, and a substantially closed magnetic circuit is formed. The coil 17 therefore, when energized by a current will cause-the structure to serve as a transformer, inducing a current in the secondary coil 9. Thus the device may serve as a transformer for transforming and utilizing the current of the line circuit and at the same time as a terminal or support and insulator for such line circuit.
The secondary coil 9 may be connected in any suitable way for any desired service, as for example, the ends 25 and 26 thereof may be led into a ipe 27 mounted on the ole 1 and thence l downwardly to the budding on which the pole may be mounted or to the ground to suitable cables, or otherwise.
In Figs. 6 and 7 I show a modified form in which there is a special insulator 28 of very thin material having a comparatively high crown or top mounted upon the top of the upri ht member 4". This insulator 28 is of suc comparatively thin material and high top that the effective gap in the magnetic circuit which "it" forms will be very small and therefore the characteristics of the device affected by the air gap will have an extreme value.
It will be understood that other changes and modifications may be made without departing from the invention.
