INTERCONNECTION FOR CONNECTING A SWITCHED MODE INVERTER TO A LOAD

摘要

An interconnection for connecting a switched mode inverter to a load, the interconnection comprising: a plurality of insulated conductors (311-313, 321-323); sleeving means (351) sleeving the insulated conductors together; and at least one lossy toroidal inductor core (352) concentric with and partially surrounding the sleeving means to hold the plurality of insulated conductors together; wherein the at least one lossy toroidal inductor core (352) is arranged to act as a common mode inductor to minimise current flowing through the interconnection to a stray capacitance of the load. Preferably, high frequency eddy current effects are minimised in the interconnection by a suitable choice of diameters of conductive cores of the plurality of insulated conductors and the spacing between the centres of the conductive cores.
