Abstract
This transformer comprises preformed coil structure and a wound core of closed-loop configuration extending about a window and having joints in a localized region thereof that allow the core to be opened at the joints to permit insertion into the window of the preformed coil structure. The core comprises superposed laminations of thin amorphous ferromagnetic strip material which extend around the core from the localized joint region. The laminations include predetermined portions adjacent the joints that are displaced to provide a wide opening into the core window for insertion of the coil structure. A coating of adhesive bonding agent applied before said displacement is present on the lateral edges of the laminations in regions of the core not including said predetermined portions, thereby holding the laminations in correct assembled relationship when the core is opened, yet without interfering with displacement of said predetermined portions.
