Definitions
- This invention relates to conductors having untreated, crumpled paper insulation.
- the invention is primarily concerned with transformer leads which are placed in oil when in use.
- the primary purpose of the crumpled paper is to provide insulation of a maximum radius, and to leave a substantial volume of voids into which the oil enters to supply the dielectric strength for the insulation.
- Flexibility of the insulation is an important advantage because some transformer leads require bends of fairly short radius; and with paper insulation sharp bends which break the insulation leave the outside curve of the conductor with an insulation covering of less radial thickness than intended. The danger of such breakage of the insulation is increased when conductors have greater radial thickness of insulation because there is increased distortion of the insulation at greater distances from the neutral axis of the bend.
- the insulation of this invention can be wound in a single pass or in multiple passes through spinning heads of a machine for applying the insulation to the wire conductor. It can be applied with the same or different angles of lay. For greater flexibility the different layers of insulation may be wound with the same angle of lay. This requires that the spinning head, which applies outer layers of insulation, run somewhat more slowly than those which apply the inner layers. In order to compensate for the greater radius of the outer layer of paper insulation, when using the same angle of lay, this invention supplies more paper to the outer layer; and in the preferred construction, the additional paper is obtained by crumpling more strands into the same unit length of conductor. This permits the use of strands of the same width for all of the reels of the spinning heads.

- Power lines 18 extend from the insulators 15 and 16. Within the transformer the power lines are connected to the windings of the core 10 by transformer leads 2%.
- Figs. 2 and 3 are diagrammatic views showing the way in which a strand of crumpled paper is wrapped on cables of different diameter in a helix that has the same angle of lay for the layer of large radius as for the layer of small radius.

- the strand of paper insulation 26 is supplied to the conductor 28 at an acute angle to the conductor so as to wrap in a helix about the conductor. This angle of the helix, or angle of lay, is designated by the reference character 30.
- Each convolution of the strand 26 has a Width W and overlaps the preceding convolution by a distance 0.
- four strands of paper insulation 26 are used in the first layer of insulation in order to obtain more overlapping and a greater radial thickness for this first layer of insulation, but the single strand shown in Fig. 2 illustrates the principle.
- Fig. 3 shows a crumpled paper strand 26, having the width W, applied to the cable 29 as part of one of the outer layers of insulation.
- the cable in Fig. 3 with the same helical angle, or angle of lay 30, as in Fig. 2; but because of the increased radius of the cable 29 there is no overlapping of the successive convolutions of the strand 26.
- the desired overlapping of the convolutions of successive strands of insulation is obtained by using more strands for a layer of insulation which has larger radius.
- this invention obtains the desired overlapping of successive strands and also obtains a substantial radial thickness for this layer of insulation with increased radius.
- the preferred embodiment wraps successive layers of insulation, in opposite directions, that is, with alternate right and left-hand helixes, the flexibility of the insulation is improved by having the angle of lay, particularly of those layers which wrap in the same direction, equal for all layers.
- Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic view illustrating the construction of the cable 29 with plural strands of crumpled paper in each layer of insulation, and more paper in the outer layer. This figure does not illustrate the way in which the strands are actually applied to the cable since a description of the operation of the apparatus for applying the crumpled paper is not necessary for a complete understanding of this invention.
- crumpled paper for insulation is known and fora complete understanding of this invento prevent removal of the crumpled effect.
- the strand 26 is applied to' a first layer 34 of crumpled paper insulation made up of four strips 36 which are crumpled into strands 2 by constricted dies designated generally by the reference character 38.
- the paper strips 36 are preferably untreated kraft paper. This first layer of insulation is applied directly over the bare metal conductor 28 with a right-hand lay in the illustrated construction. A similar layer 42 of crumpled paper insulation, made up of four strands 26, is applied over the first layer 34 with a left-hand lay.

- a braid 50 made of loosely woven cloth. This braid 50 provides some mechanical protection for the crumpled paper layer 44, but there is ample space between the threads of the braid 50 to permit oil to pass through the braid and into the voids of the crumpled paper insulation.

ELECTRIC CABLES FOR TRANSFORMER LEADS AND THE LIKE Filed Aug. 27, 1955 IN VEN TOR. M W m BY m& 91
United States Patent ELECTRIC CABLES FOR TRANSFORMER LEADS AND THE LIKE George 0. Hunsinger, Arnbridge, Pa., assignor to National Electric Products Corporation, Pittsburgh, Pa., a corporation of Delaware Application August 27, 1953, Serial No. 376,958
11 Claims. (Cl. 174-122) This invention relates to conductors having untreated, crumpled paper insulation. The invention is primarily concerned with transformer leads which are placed in oil when in use. The primary purpose of the crumpled paper is to provide insulation of a maximum radius, and to leave a substantial volume of voids into which the oil enters to supply the dielectric strength for the insulation.
Flexibility of the insulation is an important advantage because some transformer leads require bends of fairly short radius; and with paper insulation sharp bends which break the insulation leave the outside curve of the conductor with an insulation covering of less radial thickness than intended. The danger of such breakage of the insulation is increased when conductors have greater radial thickness of insulation because there is increased distortion of the insulation at greater distances from the neutral axis of the bend.
It is an object of the invention to provide an improved, paper insulation of greater flexibility than paper insulation of the prior art. Another object of the invention is to obtain a maximum radial thickness of insulation with more voids for the admission of oil into the insulation.
The insulation of this invention can be wound in a single pass or in multiple passes through spinning heads of a machine for applying the insulation to the wire conductor. It can be applied with the same or different angles of lay. For greater flexibility the different layers of insulation may be wound with the same angle of lay. This requires that the spinning head, which applies outer layers of insulation, run somewhat more slowly than those which apply the inner layers. In order to compensate for the greater radius of the outer layer of paper insulation, when using the same angle of lay, this invention supplies more paper to the outer layer; and in the preferred construction, the additional paper is obtained by crumpling more strands into the same unit length of conductor. This permits the use of strands of the same width for all of the reels of the spinning heads.
Other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will appear or be pointed out as the description proceeds.
In the drawing, forming a part hereof, in which like reference characters indicate corresponding parts in all the views:
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary, ectional view of a transformer showing the way in which the transformer leads of this invention are connected between the core and terminals of a transformer;
Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic view showing the relative advances of a helical wrapping for inner layers of small radius;
Fig. 3 shows the different pitch of the insulation when the same angle of lay is used for outer layers of larger radius than in Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic view showing the way in which multiple strands of untreated paper are transversely crumpled and wrapped around a conductor and around inner layers while passing through a spinning head;
Fig. 5 is a greatly enlarged, transverse sectional view taken on the line 55 of Fig. 4; and
Fig. 6 is a reduced scale, diagrammatic view showing the relation of the paper dies to the conductor when looking along the axis of the conductor.
Fig. 1 shows a transformer core 10 enclosed in a housing 11 which is filled with oil 12. The housing has a cover 14 and terminals surrounded by insulators 15 and 16 attached to the cover. Only two such terminals are shown, but it will be understood that there are usually others at spaced regions across the transformer housing.
Figs. 2 and 3 are diagrammatic views showing the way in which a strand of crumpled paper is wrapped on cables of different diameter in a helix that has the same angle of lay for the layer of large radius as for the layer of small radius.
in Figure 2 a crumpled paper strand 26 is Wrapped directly on a stranded metal conductor 28. The strand of paper insulation 26 is supplied to the conductor 28 at an acute angle to the conductor so as to wrap in a helix about the conductor. This angle of the helix, or angle of lay, is designated by the reference character 30. Each convolution of the strand 26 has a Width W and overlaps the preceding convolution by a distance 0. In the actual construction of the first layer of insulation, four strands of paper insulation 26 are used in the first layer of insulation in order to obtain more overlapping and a greater radial thickness for this first layer of insulation, but the single strand shown in Fig. 2 illustrates the principle.
Fig. 3 shows a crumpled paper strand 26, having the width W, applied to the cable 29 as part of one of the outer layers of insulation. the cable in Fig. 3 with the same helical angle, or angle of lay 30, as in Fig. 2; but because of the increased radius of the cable 29 there is no overlapping of the successive convolutions of the strand 26.
With this invention, the desired overlapping of the convolutions of successive strands of insulation is obtained by using more strands for a layer of insulation which has larger radius. By using eight strands of crumpled paper 25 instead of the single strand shown in Fig. 3, this invention obtains the desired overlapping of successive strands and also obtains a substantial radial thickness for this layer of insulation with increased radius.
Although the preferred embodiment wraps successive layers of insulation, in opposite directions, that is, with alternate right and left-hand helixes, the flexibility of the insulation is improved by having the angle of lay, particularly of those layers which wrap in the same direction, equal for all layers.
Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic view illustrating the construction of the cable 29 with plural strands of crumpled paper in each layer of insulation, and more paper in the outer layer. This figure does not illustrate the way in which the strands are actually applied to the cable since a description of the operation of the apparatus for applying the crumpled paper is not necessary for a complete understanding of this invention.
The application of crumpled paper for insulation is known and fora complete understanding of this invento prevent removal of the crumpled effect.
The strand 26 is applied to' a first layer 34 of crumpled paper insulation made up of four strips 36 which are crumpled into strands 2 by constricted dies designated generally by the reference character 38.
The paper strips 36 are preferably untreated kraft paper. This first layer of insulation is applied directly over the bare metal conductor 28 with a right-hand lay in the illustrated construction. A similar layer 42 of crumpled paper insulation, made up of four strands 26, is applied over the first layer 34 with a left-hand lay. The second layer 42 is also made up of crumpled, untreated kraft paper which is drawn through multi-dies, usually separate dies for the separate strips 36. The reference character 38 designates representative diagrammatic die means for crumpling the paper.
, An outer layer 44, of crumpled paper insulation, which is also preferably made of untreated kraft paper, is applied over the intermediate layer 42. In order to obtain comparable overlap of the crumpled paper strands in spite of the greater radius of the upper layer 44, with the same helix angle as the other layers, more paper is used to make this layer.
This additional paper can be obtained by using strips 36 which are wider than those used for the other layers, but in the construction illustrated, strips of the same width are used with an increase in the number of the strips. Figure 4 shows die means 46 for crumpling and overlapping four paper strips 36; and shows other die means 48 for crumpling and overlapping an additional four strips 36 which are overlapped as a group with the other strips which are crumpled by the die means 46.
The layer 44 is applied with a right-hand lay at the same helix angle as the strands 26 of the first layer. Outside of the outer layer 44 of crumpled paper insulation, there is a braid 50 made of loosely woven cloth. This braid 50 provides some mechanical protection for the crumpled paper layer 44, but there is ample space between the threads of the braid 50 to permit oil to pass through the braid and into the voids of the crumpled paper insulation.
The construction illustrated is economical to manufacture and has highly satisfactory insulating qualities for use in transformer leads, and other purposes where the cable is not subject to substantial mechanical abrasion.
Figure 6 is another diagram to show the application of the insulation in layers; and the same illustrative expedient for showing the die means is used as in Figure 4.
Some changes and additions in the illustrated embodiment can be made without departing from the invention as defined in the claims.
