Abstract
Disclosed is a multiphase converter comprising multiple electric phases (11 to 16), each of which can be triggered using switching means (21 to 26). Coupling means (31, 36, 37) are provided which magnetically couple at least one first phase (11) to at least two other phases (12, 14, 16). At least two coupling means (31, 36, 37) are provided for magnetically coupling one of the phases (11) to at least two other phases (12, 14, 16), at least one of the two coupling means (37) having less inductance than the other coupling means (31, 36).
Claims13
A multiphase converter, comprising a plurality of electrical phases (11 to 16), each of which is driven by one of a plurality of switches (21 to 26), wherein a plurality of couplers (31, 36, 37) are provided, which magnetically couple at least one first phase (11) to at least two further phases (12, 14, 16), characterized in that at least two of the plurality of couplers (31, 36, 37) are provided in order to magnetically couple one of the phases (11) to at least two further phases (12, 14, 16), wherein at least one of the two of the plurality of couplers (37) has a lower inductance than the other one of the plurality of couplers (31, 36).
