Abstract
A method of forming cooling ducts in the windings of a liquid cooled electrical transformer without adding permanent duct formers to the winding, and without requiring an additional manufacturing step to remove duct formers. Plastic tubes dissolvable in the liquid dielectric are utilized as the duct formers. Thermal siphon flow of the liquid through the tube openings when the transformer is energized dissolves the tubes and enlarges the cooling ducts to the outside dimensions of the tubes.
