A dehydrator for dehydrating air supplied to a power related or mechanical device includes a first container configured to hold a desiccant, a first heater arranged with the first container configured to heat the desiccant in the first container, a second container configured to hold a desiccant, and a second heater arranged with the second container configured to heat the desiccant in the second container. The dehydrator further includes a conduit configured to selectively connect one of the first container and the second container to the power related or mechanical device and a controller configured to selectively operate one of the first heater and the second heater.

Dehumidifier and breather configured for operation during regeneration

A recharging dehydrating breather for providing dehydrated air to electrical components includes a desiccant chamber configured to hold desiccant and a heating element configured to heat the desiccant held in the desiccant chamber to at least partially eliminate water. The device further includes a housing configured to hold the desiccant chamber and the heating element, an outlet configured to provide an outlet to guide the water away from the housing, and the outlet configured to be heated by the heating element. A process of configuring a recharging dehydrating breather for providing dehydrated air to electrical components is also disclosed.

Cold-weather recharging dehydrating breather

An apparatus includes an electrically conductive generally planar strip having a thickness, having a width greater than the thickness and having a length greater than the width. The strip is arranged in alternating length segments. Each adjacent pair of length segments are oriented about divergent axes and are joined by a respective transition arrangement. Each respective transition arrangement presents the strip foldingly lapped upon itself in a laminate structure.

Apparatus for providing windings in an electromagnetic device and method for making the apparatus

An electrical winding structure configured for use in assembling a plurality of electrical winding structures in an installed orientation wound about a central member includes: a unitary segmented strip. First portions of the unitary strip are oriented about a first axis. Second portions of the unitary strip are oriented about a second axis substantially perpendicular with the first axis. Each of the first portions and the second portions have a thickness, have a width greater than the thickness and have a length at least as great as the width. The first and second portions are oriented to effect arranging the electrical winding structure at predetermined loci during winding to clear the winding path to establish a predetermined plurality of strata in the installed orientation.

Structure for assembling electrical windings about a central member

A method for assembling electrical windings about an axis, the windings being strips and wound in alternating strata with their widths parallel with the axis, includes the steps: (a) Winding a first-wound winding in a winding path about the axis establishing a first stratum. (b) Arranging the first-wound winding to clear the winding path. (c) Winding one or more next windings to establish next-wound windings in the winding path until at least one next stratum is established. (d) Interleaving earlier-wound windings to establish the plurality of strata; the interleaving including the steps of: (1) rearranging a next-to-be-wound winding to realign with the winding path; (2) winding the next-to-be-wound winding in the winding path until a next stratum is established; (3) arranging the next-to-be-wound winding to clear the winding path; and (4) repeating steps (d)(1) through (d)(3) until the assembling is complete.

Method and structure for assembling electrical windings about a central member

A surface mount core assembly comprises a header with breakaway support rails. The breakaway support rails are used in the manufacturing process to maximize the core window of the assembly, and may be removed to minimize the footprint of the assembly. In the present embodiment, the assembly comprises, for example, a transformer wherein prefabricated conductor rings are used to further maximize the fill of the core window with conductor material.
