A coil module includes a coil conductor including a plurality of coil elements and a plurality of wire electrodes disposed on a circuit board, each of the plurality of coil elements including a pair of leg portions and a bridge portion connecting one end portions of the pair of leg portions together, the plurality of coil elements being disposed to cross a winding axis. A method for manufacturing the coil module includes an assembly forming step of integrating the plurality of coil elements with resin to form a coil element assembly, and a conductor forming step of mounting the coil element assembly on the circuit board to complete the coil conductor wound about the winding axis. In the conductor forming step, the resin is introduced into a die set in which the plurality of coil elements are arranged to form a block, to thus form the coil element assembly.

A linear variable differential transformer includes: a moving portion having a shape extending in a direction of an axial line; a bobbin including a through hole formed such that the moving portion is movable in the direction of the axial line, an outer circumferential surface of the bobbin having a shape inclined symmetrically with respect to a center line thereof based on the direction of the axial line; a primary coil wound around the outer circumferential surface of the bobbin; and a secondary coil wound around the wound primary coil, a wound outer surface of the secondary coil having a shape parallel to the axial line.

A method of determining polymerisation of transformer insulation within a transformer. The method includes the steps of measuring a first and second moisture activity of oil in a transformer, and a first and second temperature of the transformer. The method further includes calculating the ratio of the gradients of the moisture equilibrium curves associated with the moisture activity and the temperature. The calculated ratio can then be used to characterise the polymerisation of the insulation and age of the transformer.
