Method for controlling magnetic flux

Abstract

A magnetic element includes a magnetic core, at least one excitation winding and an auxiliary winding. The magnetic core includes at least one first magnetic leg, a second magnetic leg and a third magnetic leg. Each of the at least one magnetic leg is wound with an excitation winding, wherein a vector sum of magnetic flux passing through each of the at least one first magnetic leg is a first magnetic flux, a second magnetic flux is passing through the second magnetic leg, and a third magnetic flux is passing through the third magnetic leg. The auxiliary winding is partially or completely wound on the second magnetic leg, wherein the auxiliary winding is used to clamp the second magnetic flux.
