Fault tolerant subsea transformer
According to some embodiments, subsea fault tolerant transformer includes an arrangement of two tanks mounted one above the other. A lower tank houses the transformer windings and core and is below and abutting an upper tank. Both tanks are filled with respective dielectric oil. The electrical terminals for the primary and secondary power connections are on the second/instrument tank and the conductors pass through the instrument tank and then through the shared wall to the transformer tank. The design allows for enhanced cooling of the transformer through a single wall portion of the lower tank as well as fault tolerance associated with double barriers.

INDUCTIVE DEVICE
An inductive device includes a toroidal core and at least one electric conductor wound around the toroidal core and constituting at least one winding. The inductive device includes a cooling element constituting a cylindrical cavity that contains the toroidal core and the electric conductor so that the axial direction of the toroidal core is parallel with the axial direction of the cylindrical cavity. The shape of the cylindrical cavity and the cross-section of the electric conductor are adapted to match each other so as to improve heat transfer from the electric conductor to the wall of the cylindrical cavity. The cylindrical cavity can have for example a circular base and the electric conductor can have for example a rectangular cross-section that matches the shape of the wall of the cylindrical cavity better than a round electric conductor.
