Abstract

Abstract A method of tuning a high-voltage transformer for television receivers and the like wherein the primary and high-voltage windings are wound around and axially spaced from one another in a plurality of axially spaced circumferential slots provided on the exterior of hollow, electrically insulative coil form means, the interior of which surrounds a portion of the transformer core means. The axial spacing of the primary and high-voltage windings that is provided by the unique construction of the novel slotted coil form means permits the coefficient of coupling between the primary and high-voltage windings novel to be made both ideal and constant. This, in turn, allows tuning of the transformer in accordance with the novel method of the present invention which represents considerable simplification over the complex method previously required to tune the prior art, layer-wound transformers.
