High frequency inverter/distributed gap inductor—capacitor filter apparatus and method of use thereof

An apparatus configured to process electricity, comprising:

• a high frequency inverter system comprising a switching device, said switching device comprising:
• a silicon carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor, said high frequency inverter configured to yield:
• (1) current of at least fifty amperes;
• (2) voltage of at least one hundred volts;
• and (3) high frequency harmonics in a range greater than fifty kiloHertz;
• and
• a downstream filter circuit electrically coupled to said high frequency inverter, said downstream filter circuit comprising at least one inductor element and at least one capacitor, said inductor element comprising an inductor core, said inductor core comprising a plurality of coated magnetic particles, each of a majority of said coated magnetic particles comprising:
• a first set of alternating magnetic layers, wherein said magnetic layers comprise at least one alloy;
• and
• a second set of alternating substantially non-magnetic layers, said coated magnetic particles about evenly distributed in at least a portion of said inductor core;
• and
• a winding comprising at least four conducting lines, said at least four conducting lines:
• electrically wired in parallel;
• and
• circumferentially wound through:
• (1) an aperture of said inductor element and (2) about an outer surface of said inductor core, said outer surface concentric with the aperture,
• said filter circuit configured:
• to substantially pass the current of at least fifty amperes and voltage of at least one hundred volts and to reduce magnitude of at least three of the high frequency harmonics by at least seventy-five percent.
