Abstract
Abstract An electromagnetic induction device has coils of a plurality of phases and a duct through which a cooling medium is introduced into the coils to cool them. Guides are provided in the duct so asd to realize a substantially uniform distribution of the cooling medium to all coils. The flow rates of the cooling medium through the coils is substantially uniformallized so that the coils exhibit substantially the same temperature rise. As a consequence, any difference in the life between the coils is substantially eliminated.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
157 words
A three-phase electromagnetic induction device, comprising: a) a tank (1), b) a partition plate (5) extending across a lower portion of the tank and defining, with a bottom wall and side walls of the tank, a gaseous coolant duct (6) of uniform cross-section, c) three cylindrical coils (2A, 2B, 2C) disposed within the tank, in a row, above the partition plate, and having vertically oriented axes, d) three coolant flow apertures (5A, 5B, 5C) individually defined in the partition plate below the respective coils, a coolant in said tank for cooling said coils, e) a coolant inlet (3) at one end of the duct, f) coolant outlet means (4) in an upper portion of the tank, and g) a pair of baffle plates (7A, 7B) individually disposed between adjacent coolant flow apertures and extending inwardly of the duct, said baffle plates having different surface areas to establish a substantially uniform distribution of coolant to the respective coils.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
An electromagnetic induction device according to claim 1, wherein a baffle plate farthest from the coolant inlet has a surface area larger than that of a baffle plate closest to the coolant inlet.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
An electromagnetic induction device according to claim 2, wherein said baffle plates are provided on and extend downwardly from the partition plate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
An electromagnetic induction device according to claim 2, wherein said baffle plates are provided on and extend upwardly from the bottom wall of said tank.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
An electromagnetic induction device according to claim 1, wherein said coolant is sulfur hexafluoride.
