Abstract: A transformer coil comprises low and high voltage windings wound on a supporting construction and immersed in a main insulation material. The transformer coil has also a first barrier arranged proximate the low voltage winding and a second barrier arranged proximate the high voltage winding. Each of the first and second barriers is gas-tight and semiconductive so that gas bubbles potentially released during immersion in the main insulation material are unable to migrate to a high electric field region during the casting process or during apparatus operation.
