Abstract
Abstract An AC line filter in which a pair of windings are wound in an opposite dition to each other and are provided at opposing locations on a main core that forms a closed magnetic path. At least one auxiliary core which forms a shorter magnetic path than the main core is positioned adjacent the main core. The auxiliary core has at low frequency region an effective permeability higher than that of the main core. A portion of each of the pair of windings being provided in such a way that the portion is a concentrated winding which surrounds both the main core and the auxiliary core simultaneously.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
An ac line filter comprising: a pair of input terminals and a pair of output terminals; a main core for forming a closed magnetic path, at least one auxiliary core for forming a closed magnetic path shorter than that of said main core, opposing portions of said auxiliary core being disposed respectively beside said main core, said auxiliary core having an effective permeability at a low frequency region higher than that of the main core; and a pair of windings which are provided at opposing locations on said main core and which are wound in an opposite direction to each other, one of said pair of windings being connected between one of said pair of input terminals and one of said output terminals, the other of said pair windings being connected between the other of said input terminals and the other of said output terminals; wherein a winding portion of each of said pair of windings is provided to surround both said main core and said auxiliary core simultaneously and said winding portion is more concentrated that the rest of said winding.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
182 words
An ac line filter comprising: a pair of input terminals and a pair of output terminals; a main core for forming a closed magnetic path, at least one auxiliary core for forming a closed magnetic path shorter than that of said main core, opposing portions of said auxiliary core being disposed respectively beside said main core, said auxiliary core having an effective permeability at a low frequency region higher than that of the main core; and a pair of windings which are provided at opposing locations on said main core and which are wound in an opposite direction to each other, one of said pair of windings being connected between one of said pair of input terminals and one of said output terminals, the other of said pair windings being connected between the other of said input terminals and the other of said output terminals; wherein a winding portion of each of said pair of windings is provided to surround both said main core and said auxiliary core simultaneously and said winding portion is more concentrated that the rest of said winding.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
