Abstract
A winding support body (6, 10) for transformers/reactors with a winding of a tape-formed superconductor (8), wherein the support body consists of a substantially straight, circular-cylindrical tubular body which, on the side where the winding is to be placed and out towards the two ends, is provided with a helical slot with a plane surface with a width equal to the width of the tape. In this way, each turn of the slot around the support body forms a surface which practically constitutes the envelope surface of a straight frustum of a cone. The angle (v) between a generatrix (9) of the envelope surface and the axial center line of the support body increases for each turn out towards the ends of the support body in such a way that the envelope surface at all points coincides with the direction of the magnetic field (FIG. 4 ).
