INDUCTOR FOR LOW AND MEDIUM VOLTAGE APPLICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240029946 titled 'INDUCTOR FOR LOW AND MEDIUM VOLTAGE APPLICATION

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed patent application describes a gapless medium voltage inductor that includes a magnetic core with an aperture, a bobbin consisting of a first plate and a second plate, a spacer placed within the aperture of the magnetic core, a longitudinal channel defined through the spacer, first plate, and second plate, and a coil extending through the longitudinal channel and wrapping around the core and the bobbin. The core is positioned between the first and second plates.

  • The inductor has a magnetic core with an aperture, allowing for efficient magnetic flux.
  • The bobbin, consisting of two plates, provides structural support for the inductor.
  • A spacer is placed within the aperture of the magnetic core, ensuring proper alignment and insulation.
  • A longitudinal channel is defined through the spacer, first plate, and second plate, allowing the coil to pass through.
  • The coil extends through the longitudinal channel and wraps around the core and the bobbin, creating a magnetic field.

Potential Applications:

  • Power distribution systems
  • Renewable energy systems
  • Electric vehicle charging stations
  • Industrial machinery and equipment

Problems Solved:

  • Gapless design eliminates air gaps, reducing energy losses and improving efficiency.
  • Proper alignment and insulation provided by the spacer ensure optimal performance and reliability.
  • The coil wrapping around the core and bobbin enhances the magnetic field, increasing the inductor's effectiveness.

Benefits:

  • Improved efficiency and energy savings due to the gapless design.
  • Enhanced performance and reliability through proper alignment and insulation.
  • Increased magnetic field strength for better inductor performance.
  • Versatile applications in various industries, including power distribution, renewable energy, and industrial machinery.


Original Abstract Submitted

this disclosure provides a gapless medium voltage inductor. the inductor includes a magnetic core having an aperture extending therethrough, a bobbin comprising a first plate and a second plate, a spacer disposed within the aperture of the magnetic core, a longitudinal channel defined through the spacer, first plate, and second plate, and a coil extending through the longitudinal channel and wrapping around the core and the bobbin. the core is disposed between the first and second plates.
