Abstract
A gapless core reactor includes a saturable magnetic core having reactor legs without air gaps and multiple windings. The windings are each wound around a common leg, spaced apart from each other and connected in counter series. The windings are configured such that a magnetic flux generated from an alternating current flowing through the windings generates a plurality of substantially equal and counter magnetic fluxes flowing through two or more separate magnetic circuits.
Claims22
A gapless alternating current core reactor comprising:
- a magnetic core, the core comprising a plurality of substantially uniform reactor legs without air gaps;
- and
- a plurality of windings, each wound around a common leg, spaced apart from each other and connected in counter series;
- where the plurality of windings configured such that a magnetic flux generated from an alternating current flowing through the plurality of windings generates a substantially equal magnetic flux and a counter magnetic flux flowing through two or more separate magnetic circuits that repel each other.

A three-phase gapless alternating current core reactor comprising:
- a saturable magnetic core, the core comprising three reactor gapless legs;
- and
- a plurality of winding pairs, each pair wound around a gapless leg of the three reactor gapless legs, and within each pair comprising winding coils spaced apart from each other and connected in a counter series connection;
- where the plurality of windings are configured such that a magnetic flux generated from an alternating current flowing through the plurality of winding pairs generate two or more substantially equal and counter magnetic fluxes that repel each other and flow through separate and mutually exclusive magnetic circuits.
