Abstract
Abstract An improved capacitive inductive winding is disclosed for use with devices requiring an inductance and a series or shunt capacitance. The disclosed invention is a high reactance winding having a nearly uniform current density within the conductive foils, and having a substantially increased capacitance and voltampere capacity over the prior art. The invention is suitable for use with devices requiring a high starting voltage and a constant wattage operation such as gaseous discharge devices. The invention is also applicable for use with voltage and wattage regulators, ballasts and ferro-resonant transformers. The foregoing abstract is merely a resume of one general application, is not a complete discussion of all principles of operation or applications, and is not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the claimed subject matter.
