A static plate and liquid distribution manifold construction for vertical coils of electrical inductive apparatus, characterized by a plurality of vertically stacked pancake coils, manifold means comprising an inner rigid core of dielectric material, a coating of metal foil on the core, and a flexible bladder enclosing the rigid core and metal foil structure above the plurality of stacked coils, a plurality of radially spaced spacers between the coils and between the top coil and the manifold means, pressure means for compressing the assembly of the manifold means, the spacers, and the coils, an inlet means for introducing a coolant into the manifold bladder whereby the coolant fluid after leaving the manifold is fed by gravity downwardly over the several stacked coils.

Overpressure protection for a vaporization cooled electrical inductive apparatus. A pressure responsive device is actuated by a predetermined pressure within a sealed housing and de-energizes a pump, thereby stopping the flow of dielectric fluid to the heat producing members which prevents further pressure increases within a tank due to continued vaporization of the dielectric fluid. In one embodiment, a discharge valve is actuated by the pressure responsive device to drain the dielectric fluid from the windings to prevent further pressure increases caused by continued vaporization of the dielectric fluid. A fusible link is provided to disconnect the windings of the electrical inductive apparatus from a source of electrical potential subsequent to the de-energization of the pump. In another embodiment, the pressure responsive device actuates the circuit breaker which disconnects the windings of the electrical inductive apparatus from the source of electrical potential.

A water collector for vapor-cooled electrical apparatus which is hermetically sealed to the atmosphere. The flow of vapor through the water collector is generated by the condensation of the vapor into a liquid and is continuous during operation of the apparatus. A storage chamber may be sized to contain all of the water collected during the lifetime of the apparatus or the water may be periodically eliminated from the system.

Disclosed is a method of making an insulated conductor by coating a conductor with a triazole and applying the insulation over the triazole coating. The triazole is preferably benzyltriazole or tolyltriazole. It can be applied dissolving the triazole in water, immersing the conductor in the solution and evaporating the water. The invention is particularly useful with epoxy powder coatings on copper conductors which are used in perchloroethylene containing insulating fluid.
