Abstract
Abstract A circular magnetic core structure comprises a plurality of laminations of prestressed oriented silicon steel secured together near their juxtaposed ends which are biased into mutual engagement and are separable to receive an alternating current carrying conductor to induce into the core alternating magnetic flux which induces alternating current into a coil on the core corresponding to the current in the conductor. The core and coil are encapsulated in insulating material. In one embodiment self curing cement is applied to the juxtaposed ends after the core is applied to the conductor to seal them together. In another embodiment the ends are provided with interlocking separable coupling extensions of corrosion resisting magnetic material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
For combination with an alternating current carrying conductor a magnetic core having a secondary winding thereon, said core comprising: a plurality of circular strips of magnetic material individually prestressed radially inwardly and not subsequently annealed, capable of being endwise opened to admit said conductor and to be biased closed by said prestress with the ends of said strips juxtaposed, and having clearance, when biased closed, between adjacent strips at the portions thereof opposite said ends to increase the flexibility thereof, and means securing said ends of said strips together, said core being characterized by being repeatedly openable for application to and removal from said conductor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
105 words

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
92 words
For combination with an alternating current carrying conductor a magnetic core having a secondary winding thereon, said core comprising: a plurality of circular strips of prestressed magnetic material capable of being endwise opened to admit said conductor and to be biased closed with the ends of said strips juxtaposed, means securing said ends together including separable coupling means extending laterally from said ends of said strips, said coupling means including tongue and groove means, said tongue means including a circular end having a snap fit with a pocket on said groove means.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
140 words
For combination with an alternating current carrying conductor a magnetic core having a secondary winding thereon, said core comprising: a plurality of circular strips of prestressed magneTic material capable of being endwise opened to admit said conductor and to be biased closed with the ends of said strips juxtaposed, means securing said ends together including separable coupling means extending laterally from said ends of said strips, said coupling means including tongue and groove means, said tongue means including a circular end having a snap fit with a pocket on said groove means, and insulating material encapsulating said core and winding, those portions of the encapsulated core at the ends of the encapsulated winding on the outer side of the former being spaced from the latter to increase the flexibility of said core in separating said ends to admit said conductor.
