Reactor, converter, and power conversion device

摘要

A reactor includes a coil formed by connecting a pair of coil elements configured by a wound wire, and magnetic core. The reactor for an on-vehicle converter converts an input voltage. Electricity applying conditions include a maximum DC current of 100 A or higher and 1000 A or lower, an average voltage of 100 V or higher and 1000 V or smaller, and a usable frequency of 5 kHz or higher and 100 kHz or smaller. The magnetic core is obtained by combining a plurality of divided core pieces without a gap provided. All the divided core pieces are made of hardened compact obtained by hardening resin of composite material containing magnetic powder and the resin. A distance between an inner peripheral surface of the coil element and an outer peripheral surface of the magnetic core opposite to the inner peripheral surface is 0.1 mm or more and 2 mm or less.

1. A reactor comprising:
a coil formed by connecting a pair of coil elements configured by a wound wire; and a magnetic core, wherein
the reactor is configured to be used for an on-vehicle converter that converts an input voltage, electricity applying conditions including a maximum DC current of 100 A or higher and 1000 A or smaller, an average voltage of 100 V or higher and 1000 V or smaller, and a usable frequency of 5 kHz or higher and 100 kHz or smaller,the magnetic core is obtained by combining a plurality of divided core pieces with an unavoidable clearance or an adhesive therebetween, all of the divided core pieces being made of a hardened compact obtained by hardening a resin of a composite material containing magnetic powder and the resin;the unavoidable clearance or the adhesive suppresses a change in the relative magnetic permeability of the whole magnetic core so that the change is 5% or lower as compared to a case where the unavoidable clearance or the adhesive is not present; anda distance between an inner peripheral surface of the coil element and an outer peripheral surface of the magnetic core which is opposite to the inner peripheral surface is 0.1 mm or more and 2 mm or less.
