Patent ID: 7233223

Claim:
A method of producing a winding for a high voltage transformer including the steps of: forming a predetermined number of spaced conductor winding groups joined together to form a single winding of the transformer; and winding each spaced winding group as a solenoid-type winding having, in section, a plurality of interwoven axial columns and radial rows from a predetermined number of turns of conductor, wherein a spacing (a n ) between an n th solenoid-type winding and an (n+1) th solenoid-type winding is greater than a spacing (a n+1 ) between the (n+1) th solenoid-type winding and an (n+2) th solenoid-type winding, an individual coil to coil partial capacitance (C n ) between the n th solenoid-type winding and the (n+1) th solenoid-type winding being greater than an individual coil to coil partial capacitance (C n+1 ) between the (n+1) th solenoid-type winding and the (n+2) th solenoid-type winding, thereby providing a substantially uniform lighting impulse distribution across the transformer.
