The object of this Department of Energy program has been to further develop and refine the following technologies for incorporation into the design of power transformers: sheet-wound coils; compressed gas and polymer film insulation; and sealed, forced-liquid cooling. The work carried out during a 15 month-period is reported and covers the following areas: 60 Hz and impulse breakdown measurements on small (6 in. size) sheet-wound coils built on a new coil winding apparatus; analysis of the forces associated with short-circuit currents in sheet windings and the design, construction, and testing of sheet-wound model coils; application of axisymmetric finite element magnetic field analysis to sheet-wound transformer designs; analytical studies of transformer designs based on the proposed concepts; and preliminary study of the possible manufacturing technology requirements associated with sheet-wound gas-insulated transformers. Progress and accomplishments in each of the activities are discussed.
