Kaksikäämisen

Kaksikäämisen is a Finnish term that translates to "double winding" or "twin winding." It most commonly refers to a specific type of electrical coil construction where two distinct windings are present on the same core. This arrangement is often employed in electrical transformers, motors, and inductors to achieve various functional properties.

In a transformer, kaksikäämisen can denote a transformer with two separate primary windings or two separate secondary windings. This allows for different voltage configurations, such as connecting the windings in series for a higher voltage output or in parallel for a higher current capacity. It can also facilitate multiple isolated output voltages from a single transformer.

In the context of motors, kaksikäämisen might refer to a motor design with two distinct sets of windings that can be independently controlled or combined. This can be used to achieve different speed ranges or torque characteristics. Similarly, in inductors, a double winding could be used to create a more complex magnetic field or to cancel out unwanted magnetic flux. The specific application and design dictate the precise function of the kaksikääminen.
