Coupling Coil Structure for Scott Transformer Leakage Impedance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing coupling coil structure in Scott-connected transformers requires division of the main-phase secondary coil into multiple coils connected in parallel, increasing production time and effort, and results in a larger transformer size and weight due to reduced space factor and increased conductor turns.
Innovation Solution
A coupling coil structure where a single sheet-shaped conductor, such as a thin metal plate, is wound around the iron core to form the main-phase secondary coil, allowing mutual induction with primary coils, and lead wires serve as terminals, eliminating the need for multiple coils and reducing conductor turns.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-generated harmful factors
If the main-phase secondary coil is divided into multiple coils connected in parallel to form a coupling coil, then the leakage impedance between primary coils is reduced, but the production time and effort increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the main-phase secondary coil into multiple coils (U-side and W-side coils) that are connected in parallel. This segmentation allows each coil to be positioned adjacent to specific primary coils, improving magnetic coupling and reducing leakage impedance between the primary coils while maintaining overall functionality.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If the main-phase secondary coil is divided into multiple coils, then the leakage impedance between primary coils is reduced, but the transformer size and weight increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent positions the divided secondary coils in a spatial arrangement where the U-side secondary coil is adjacent to the U-side primary coil and the W-side secondary coil is adjacent to the W-side primary coil. This dimensional arrangement optimizes magnetic coupling in space, reducing leakage impedance without requiring additional transformer volume or weight.
