Insulation
Barrel Windings
This winding is constructed by progressively winding turns
of magnet wire from one end of the coil to the other. Layers
are electrically insulated by solid sheet insulation and cooling
ducts.
Disc Windings
This winding construction is achieved by winding the
conductor into slotted spacers (combs) that are arranged
around the circumference of the coil. The continuous series
connected disc winding provides a high capacitance which
improves the distribution of the impulse wave through the
winding. Cooling efficiency is also maximized by exposing a
large surface area of the conductor to the air.
B4
Rectangular Core
Cruciform Core
Consists of rectangular pieces of core steel arranged in such a way so that the grain
orientation of the steel is along the flux path except in the corners where the flux path
changes direction from the legs to the yolk members.
Good Efficiency
Scrap-Less mitering where the steel is cut at 45 degree angles and arranged such that
the grain orientation is maintained in line with the flux path, even in the corners of the
transformer core thus reducing the core losses.
Better Efficiency
This type of core cutting and stacking ensures that the overlapping of the joints in the
corners are mitred and staggered so that the best possible grain orientation and flux
transition is achieved. By avoiding crowding of the flux lines the least core losses are
achieved and therefore the best efficiencies.

NEMA 1
A general purpose indoor ventilated enclosure designed to
provide a limited degree of protection against falling dirt
particles. It is commonly utilized indoors for commercial and
industrial applications.
NEMA 2
NEMA 1
NEMA 3R
A general purpose ventilated enclosure for either indoor or
outdoor use, designed to provide a degree of protection
against rain, sprinklered water, and snow. Ideal for sprinklered
commercial applications, severe industrial environments, and
outdoor applications.
Note: For outdoor applications, Pioneer Electric recommends
the installation of optional ventilation filters.
NEMA 4
A non-ventilated enclosure for either indoor or outdoor
use, constructed to provide a degree of protection against
windblown rain, snow, dust, and splashing water. Hosedirected water, and to be undamaged by the formation of ice
externally. Ideal for industrial and commercial applications in
harsh environments or where severe weather conditions are
likely.
NEMA 4X
A non-ventilated enclosure the same as NEMA 4, but it is
corrosion resistant. Ideal for industrial applications such as
food processing, refineries, and mines.
NEMA 12
An indoor non-ventilated enclosure constructed to provide
a degree of protection against circulating dust, lint, fibers,
and flings. It also provides protection against dripping and
light splashing of noncorrosive liquids. Ideal for industrial
applications such as mills, refineries, or mines.
