MAGNETIC DEVICES AND TRANSFORMER CIRCUITS MADE THEREWITH

摘要

A magnetic device producing a small amount of leakage flux and capable of substantially eliminating the amount of leakage flux that escapes the magnetic core of the device. The device includes at least a portion of an electronic circuit that includes an interphase transformer arranged on a magnetic core. The reactor windings on each leg of the magnetic core are disposed in close proximity to each other and can be wound concentrically or in a bifilar fashion. The resulting combination of the magnetic core and windings provides a high degree of magnetic coupling between reactor windings disposed on the same leg and between reactor windings disposed on differing legs. The high degree of magnetic coupling substantially reduces the amount of leakage flux that can affect other metal objects proximate the magnetic device.
