Direct current converter with integrated transformer windings and output voltage filtering coils on the same magnetic core

Chopper-type direct-current converter comprising:

• a magnetic core, which comprises:
• a first and a second side leg, the ends of which are connected to each other with end pieces;
• and
• a center leg provided with an air gap and connected to the end pieces between the first and second side legs;
• around which magnetic core are arranged:
• a primary winding;
• a secondary winding;
• and
• a secondary side filter coil;
• where
• the filter coil is wound around the center leg;
• and
• the primary and secondary windings are wound around the side legs so that the resulting magnetic fluxes associated with the primary and secondary windings flow in the same direction en in the side legs, and so that the magnetic return flux flows in the same direction en in the center leg as the magnetic flux associated with the filter coil.
