Reactor including end plate including end plate formed of a plurality of end plate parts

A reactor comprising:

• a core body;
• and
• an end plate fastened to at least one end of the core body, wherein the end plate is formed from a plurality of end plate parts;
• wherein the core body comprises an outer peripheral iron core composed of a plurality of outer peripheral iron core parts, wherein one of the end plate parts straddle two mutually adjacent outer peripheral iron core parts at the one end of the core body, at least three iron cores in contact with or connected to an inner surface of the outer peripheral iron core, and coils wound onto the at least three iron cores, and wherein air gaps are formed between two adjacent iron cores from among the at least three iron cores at radially inner ends of the iron cores, wherein the inner ends of the iron cores converge towards a center of the outer peripheral iron core and are separated by the air gaps, or between the at least three iron cores at radially inner ends of the iron cores and a central iron core disposed at the center of the core body, through which gaps the iron cores are magnetically connectable,
• wherein a contour of the outer peripheral iron core parts forms an apex at a mating side of the outer peripheral iron core parts located between the coils of the two adjacent iron cores, and
• wherein the air gaps between the two adjacent iron cores extend radially to a space between the coils of the two adjacent iron cores and the apex.
