Adjustable integrated combined common mode and differential mode three phase inductors and methods of manufacture and use thereof

摘要

In some embodiments, the instant invention can provide an electrical system that at least includes the following: a three-phase inductor, having: a core, having: at least one first core segment, having a first shape; at least one second core segment, having a second shape; at least one third core segment, having a third shape; where the at least one first core segment, the at least one second core segment, and the at least one third core segment are configured to be: separate from each other and adjustable relative to each other; and where the core is configured so that differential mode inductance flux paths during the operation of the three-phase inductor depend on the first shape of the at least one first core segment, the second shape of the at least one second core segment, and the third shape of the at least one third core segment.

1. An electrical system, comprising:
at least one three-phase inductor, comprising:
at least one core, comprising:
at least one first core segment, having a first shape;at least one second core segment, having a second shape;at least one third core segment, having a third shape;
wherein the at least one first core segment, the at least one second core segment, and the at least one third core segment are configured to be: i) separate from each other and ii) adjustable relative to each other;a plurality of common mode gaps;
wherein the plurality of common mode gaps are configured to separate the at least one first core segment, the at least one second core segment, and the at least one third core segment from each other;a plurality of differential mode gaps;
wherein the plurality of differential mode gaps are configured to separate the at least one first core segment, the at least one second core segment, and the at least one third core segment from each other;wherein the at least one core is configured so that differential mode inductance flux paths during the operation of the at least one three-phase inductor depend on the first shape of the at least one first core segment, the second shape of the at least one second core segment, and the third shape of the at least one third core segment;wherein the at least one core is configured such that thickness of each common mode gap is capable of being independently adjusted from thicknesses of other common mode gaps of the plurality of common mode gaps to result in a particular common mode inductance; andwherein the at least one core is configured such that thickness of each differential mode gap is capable of being independently adjusted from:i) thicknesses of other differential mode gaps of the plurality of differential mode gaps andii) the thicknesses of other common mode gaps of the plurality of common mode gaps,to result in a particular differential mode inductance.
