Abstract
A transformer includes a core having an aperture formed therein and a conductive bar extending through the core. The aperture in the core has a centroidal axis The conductive bar includes: a first surface extending generally parallel to the centroidal axis, a second surface opposite the first surface and extending generally parallel to the centroidal axis, the first surface being closer than the second surface to said centroidal axis. The conductive bar also includes means for diverting electrical current flowing through the conductive bar towards said first surface.
Claims12
A transformer comprising:
- a core having an aperture formed therein, said aperture having a centroidal axis;
- and
- a conductive bar extending through said core offset from said centroidal axis, a portion of said conductive bar positioned within said aperture including
- means for diverting electrical current flowing through said condutive bar towards said centroidal axis.
A transformer comprising:
- a core having an aperture formed therein, said aperture having a centroidal axis;
- and
- a conductive bar extending through said core offset from said centroidal axis, said conductive bar including
- a first slot disposed in said conductive bar and positioned within said aperture, and
- a second slot disposed in said conductive bar and positioned within said aperture, wherein a first tab is formed between said first and second slots.
A transformer comprising:
- a core having an aperture formed therein, said aperture having a centroidal axis;
- and
- a conductive bar extending through said core offset from said centroidal axis, said conductive bar including
- a region of reduced cross sectional area located within said aperture.
