Abstract
Abstract An iron core for induction apparatuses is constructed of at least one main leg and yokes including side yokes comprising laminations of magnetic material. The magnetostriction of the yokes is smaller than that of the main legs, so that the vibration of the inductors is easily suppressed without any special means. Noise, which otherwise might arise from the vibration is thus reduced sharply.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
In an iron core for induction apparatuses comprising at least one main leg to be mounted with windings and at least a pair of yokes joined with said main legs, each including a plurality of laminations of silicon steel, the improvement wherein said yokes are formed of silicon steel having a lower magnetostriction with respect to a given magnetic flux density than that of the silicon steel of said main legs, and the magnetostriction of said main legs is at least double that of said yokes with respect to said given magnetic flux density.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
94 words
In an iron core for induction apparatuses comprising at least one main leg to be mounted with windings and at least a pair of yokes joined with said main legs, each including a plurality of laminations of silicon steel, the improvement wherein said yokes are formed of silicon steel having a lower magnetostriction with respect to a given magnetic flux density than that of the silicon steel of said main legs, and the magnetostriction of said main legs is at least double that of said yokes with respect to said given magnetic flux density.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
An iron core according to claim 1, comprising three legs of phases U, V and W, wherein the magnetostriction of said main leg of phase V and said yokes is rendered smaller than that of said main legs of phases U and W.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
An iron core according to claim 1, wherein each of said yokes comprises a plurality of laminations of grain oriented silicon steel sheets higher in grade than the silicon steel sheets constituting said main legs.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
An iron core according to claim 1, wherein each of said yokes comprises a plurality of laminations of silicon steel sheets so machined as to reduce the mechanical strain and hence the magnetostriction thereof compared with the silicon steel sheets of said main legs.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
51 words
An iron core according to claim 1, wherein each of said main legs comprises a plurality of laminations of silicon steel sheets not subjected to a stress relieving annealing process, and each of said yokes comprises a plurality of laminations of silicon steel sheets subjected to a stress relieving annealing process.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
An iron core according to claim 1, wherein said yokes are enlarged in sectional area so that the magnetic flux density of said yokes is lower than that of said main legs.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
An iron core according to claim 1, wherein said yokes have a larger sectional area than that of said main legs.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
98 words
In an iron core for induction apparatuses comprising at least one main leg and at least a pair of yokes joined with said main leg, said main leg and said yokes being formed of a plurality of laminations of magnetic material; the improvement wherein said main legs and said yokes are formed of grain oriented silicon steel, said yokes being formed of higher grade grain oriented silicon steel than that of said main leg so that the magnetostriction of said main leg is at least double that of said yokes with respect to a given magnetic flux density.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
98 words
In an iron core for induction apparatuses comprising at least one main leg and at least a pair of yokes joined with said main leg, said main leg and said yokes being formed of a plurality of laminations of magnetic material; the improvement wherein said main legs and said yokes are formed of grain oriented silicon steel, said yokes being formed of higher grade grain oriented silicon steel than that of said main leg so that the magnetostriction of said main leg is at least double that of said yokes with respect to a given magnetic flux density.
