HEAT TRANSFER IN MAGNETIC ASSEMBLIES

摘要

A magnetic assembly includes a winding (102) and a housing (106) disposed about the winding. The housing includes an interior surface (108) contoured to conform to the winding to facilitate heat transfer between the winding and the housing. A method of manufacturing a magnetic assembly includes forming (154) a contoured interior surface on a housing and assembling (156) a winding into the housing such that the interior surface of the housing conforms to the winding to facilitate heat transfer between the winding and the housing.
