An electric device according to the invention is preferably a high-power device such as a power trans- former or a distribution transformer. An electric device according to the invention is preferably intended for power levels above 10 kVA and preferably above 50 kVA. Power here means the maximum power consumption of the device . The electric conductor is preferably wound around the core in substantially tangential direction relative to the longitudinal axis of the core. The core is preferably of substantially cylindrical shape, and advantageously of substantially circular-cy- lindrical shape. For practical reasons, however, the shape of the core may differ from this shape. Advantageously, the core is formed of a plurality of metal sheets, in which case the core has a stepped edge. By using a solid insulating material it is possible to considerably reduce the distance between the high- voltage winding and the core. A significantly smaller device as compared to what is possible using prior art or a device with significantly higher efficiency can thus be achieved. The insulating layers preferably consist of polymer tubing. This allows the tubes to be manufactured in a continuous process by means of extrusion, which is a well established manufacturing technique. Alternatively, the insulation can be extruded directly onto the core. When manufacturing the electric device, it is difficult to prevent air pockets from forming between the insulating layers and the high-voltage winding. Air pockets will cause corona to appear, and this may eventually eat away at the insulation. This is a problem, primarily at voltages above 1-2 kV and, particularly, at voltages above 10 kV. One way of avoiding the problem is to use a corona-resistant material in the insulating layers. How- ever, it is not easy to find corona-resistant materials that also have a high electric strength. To make it possible to benefit as much as possible from the use of a solid insulating material also at high voltages, the electric device further comprises semicon- ductive layers that are arranged on both sides of each of the electrically insulating layers. It is preferred that the electric device comprises a first semiconductive layer which is in contact with the first insulating layer and enclosed by the first insulating layer, a second semiconductive layer which is arranged between the first insulating layer and the high- voltage winding in contact with both the first layer and the high-voltage winding, a third semiconductive layer which is arranged between the second insulating layer and the high-voltage winding in contact with both the second insulating layer and the high- oltage winding, and a fourth semiconductive layer which is in contact with and encloses the second insulating layer. For optimal operation, it is essential that the semiconductive layers be in contact with the respective insulating layers. Preferably, the semiconductive layers have a surface resistance in the range 10 5 -10 8 Ω. Adequate conductibility to level the electric field is thus obtained while excessive losses can be avoided. The device according to the invention may be of different kinds, such as an inductor or a transformer. In the case where the electric device is an inductor, it comprises only one winding in the form of the high- voltage winding. In the case where the electric device is a transformer, it further comprises a low-voltage winding enclosing the core. If the electric device comprises a low-voltage winding, it also advantageously comprises a third insulating layer of a solid, electrically insulating material, the O CO to t μ 1 cπ o cπ o cπ o cπ rt rt rt μ- f- 1 m h- 1 <! tr Φ Ω rt rt Ω rt Hi o rt P. 3 μ- rt •> ϋ 3 i tr μ- CO tr -> h- 1 h- 1 tr H- Φ ø SD t 0 0 0 Φ h- 1 ø μ- 0 0 μ- 0 0 tr μ- SD rt 4 μ- S μ- Φ Φ CO μ- μ- ø 0 0 Φ <i Ω CQ rt Φ rt rt Φ ø 0 CQ 0 hi φ φ 3 0 CQ Φ ø ø ISl 0 Φ Pi CQ *<; e, ■ μ- rt 0 μ- μ- rt φ : > Ω 0 tr rt ø 3 φ 0 fi CQ φ rt ø 0 φ t Φ 1 0 rt μ- h- 1 ø Ω ø SD H 1 φ rt tr φ 0 0 0 Hi ø Hi Ω Φ μ- Φ Si ø tr ii : <i 0 0 SD CQ 0 LQ LQ Φ φ hj φ 0 3 3 ø 0 i SD O SD O h- 1 ø • 1 tr rr 0 <! tr) O 0 rt 0 rt 0 Φ Ω 0 μ- Hi Ω 0 φ CQ hh < Ω μ- Ω 0 Φ Ω CQ rt h- 1 0 SD Hi 0 • <; 0 - 1 r-> Φ SD μ. h- 1 Si h- 1 rt Ω Ω 0 i ø rt o rt CO Ω Ω ■ tr tø *< ii μ- h-" Hi rt rt hj CD > 0 ø ø 0 Z hi rt 0 rt 0 tr TJ 0 0 ø 0 rt rt 0 Φ 0 μ- ø rt rt ø ø ø SD CQ - ; Ω ^ μ- μ- tr Hi ii 0 Φ s: ii rt rt CO H hj i hi S ϋ φ Φ ty ø H ø LQ LQ CD ø • <: Φ rt φ ø Ω φ μ- ii φ φ 0 0 Ω ø μ- ø μ- P. h- 1 Φ Φ Pi Pi φ LQ hi Φ Φ μ- Φ hi O fi P, φ μ- Ω SD 0 Ω SD LQ SD 0 ø Ω Ω μ- 0 !

The first insulating layer and the second insulating layer are provided with a second and a third corona protection layer, respectively, of the material with non-linear resistivity in stretches each of which, in the longitudinal direction of the core, at least partly overlaps the first corona protection layer. The fourth insulating layer is advantageously provided with a fifth semiconductive layer which is in con- tact with both the electric conductor and the fourth insulating layer, and a sixth insulating layer which is in contact with and encloses the fourth insulating layer and is in contact with the first corona protection layer. The corona protection layers have a high resistivity at low electric fields and a low resistivity at high electric fields. By arranging corona protection layers in this manner, a smooth transition of the electric field from the electric cable to the electric device is achieved. The length of the overlap is determined by the voltage for which the device was designed and by the electric breakdown strength of the air. Advantageously, the corona protection layer has a surface resistance in the range 10 8 -10 12 Ω for electric fields below 1 kV/mm. At electric fields above lkV/mm, the corona protection layer advantageously has a surface resistance in the range 10 5 -10 9 Ω. Excessively high electric fields are thus avoided as well as excessive losses . If the electric device has a low-voltage winding intended for a voltage above 1 kV, it is advantageous to have semiconductive layers on both sides of the third electrically insulating layer. The appearance of corona at the low-voltage winding can thereby be prevented. The high-voltage winding preferably consists of at least one lacquered wire. This allows ordinary electric wire to be used in the high-voltage winding. To optimize the performance of the electric device, it is desirable that the high-voltage winding should have a certain thickness. It is also desirable to have a certain number of turns of the winding and a certain conduc- tor area in the winding. Because of these requirements the high-voltage winding must be arranged in several layers in order to fit into the space available. However, the voltage between two adjacent layers will be relatively high and there is therefore a risk of breakdown between the different conductor layers. To prevent this problem, the high-voltage winding is advantageously carried out in such manner that it is made up of at least two part windings. Preferably, each of the part windings extends in the longitudinal direction of the core in the range 0.03-2 m. High voltages between conductors in the high-voltage winding, which could lead to breakdown, are thus avoided. Naturally, part windings of other lengths could be provided depending on, inter alia, the voltage for which the high-voltage winding is intended. Preferably, cooling channels are provided in the core, said cooling channels being arranged in the longitudinal direction of the core. Satisfactory cooling of the electric device is thus ensured. One advantage of arranging cooling channels in the core is that it is a relatively straightforward and efficient way of cooling the electric device. An alternative to using cooling channels in the core is to provide cooling flanges which enclose the electric device. Of course, such cooling flanges may be provided with cooling channels. Another alternative to cooling is to give the device such an elongate shape that its natural convection will be sufficient for cooling purposes. Preferably, the cooling flanges are made of aluminium, but could also be made of other materials.

The third insulating layer 62 is enclosed by a second cooling flange 63 having cooling channels 65. In a transformer according to the invention, heat is diverted from the outer winding to the second cooling flange 63 and from the inner winding to the first cooling flange 57. Fig. 8 illustrates the use of a transformer 66 ac- cording to an embodiment of the present invention. The transformer 66 is arranged on the top of a railway engine 67, but could also be arranged under the engine 67. By using a transformer 66 according to the present invention, the transformer can be located as stated above, which ensures satisfactory cooling of the transformer. The embodiments described above are given by way of example. It will be appreciated by a person skilled in the art that the above embodiments can be varied in a number of ways within the scope of the invention. For example, four iron cores and their associated windings may be juxtaposed in order to create redundancy in a three-phase transformer. Naturally, the low-voltage winding may be located closest to the core and the high-voltage winding outside thereof. Both the high- and low-voltage windings can be adapted for high voltage. In that case, the low-voltage winding is designed similarly to the high-voltage winding with semiconductive layers on both sides of the insul- ating layer 21. In this case, the transformer is provided with an outer earthed screen (not shown in the drawing) which abuts against the outer semiconductive layer of 21. Naturally, the tube does not have to be shrunk onto the core. Instead, the gap between the tube and the core can be filled with silicone glue, for example. Another alternative is to extrude the insulating layers directly onto the core and the windings, respectively. It is, of course, not necessary to use soot par- tides in the semiconductive layers. Instead, other substances such as metallic oxides could be used.
