Original Abstract Submitted

A device includes a core structure including a first end plate and a second end plate. The first end plate and second end plate include a first portion and a second portion that extend from opposing sides of a third portion and include an increasing cross-sectional area configured to provide soft saturation properties in response to increasing electrical current. The core structure may further include a coil member and a core section. The core section is disposed between the first plate member and second plate member. The core section includes a first core member, a second core member, and a central disc member. The core section also includes a channel formed between the central disc member and the first core member and the second core member to enable the coil member to circumferentially wind around the central disc member.
