A novel transformer circuit employing multi-axis windings around a large magnetic billet receives and amplifies the energy from a flux of energetic waves emanating from the sun and other celestial bodies and entities throughout the environment. A clean source of solar energy can be harvested with an energy density that is at least 50 times greater than photon-based collectors.

An adjustable inductor including a toroidal core defining a plurality of gaps, a compressible gap material positioned in the gaps, at least one winding wound on the core, a force-applying structure, and a film substantially covering the adjustable inductor. The force-applying structure is operable to apply a force to the core to adjust the gaps and thereby an inductance of the adjustable inductor. The film is configured to prevent movement of force-applying structure when above a predetermined temperature threshold, and allow movement of the force-applying structure when below the predetermined threshold.

An integrated magnetic element is provided, including a first magnetic-core frame, three second magnetic-core frames, and three coil windings. The first magnetic-core frame has a first side pillar and a second side pillar opposite to the first side pillar. The three second magnetic-core frames are arranged on the side corresponding to the first side pillar of the first magnetic-core frame, and are arranged in parallel with the axis of the first side pillar of the first magnetic-core frame. Each of the second magnetic-core frames has a first side pillar adjacent to the first side pillar of the first magnetic-core frame, and a second side pillar opposite to the first side pillar of itself. The three coil windings connect to a three-phase grid, and wind around the first side pillar of the first magnetic-core frame and the corresponding first side pillar of the second magnetic-core frame respectively.

The invention relates to a transformer core with at least one additional leg. Said additional leg is used to form a leakage path. In order to optimize the installation space and for easier connection of the transformer windings, the transformer legs and the additional leakage path legs are not arranged along a common line.

A common mode choke (200, 1100) comprises a core (240). The common mode choke (200, 1100) further comprises a first coil (221), a second coil (222), a third coil (223), and a fourth coil (224) wound around the core (240). The common mode choke (200, 1100) is operative to attenuate any common mode component of a pair of signals. A first signal of the pair of the signals passes through two of the first through fourth coils (221, 222, 223, 224) and a second signal of the pair of the signals passes through the other two of the first through fourth coils (221, 222, 223, 224), such that at least a part of the magnetic field created by the first signal has a direction identical to that of at least a part of the magnetic field created by the second signal.

An innovative planar transformer structure, the transformer includes a primary circuit comprising a primary winding of N1 turns; a secondary circuit comprising a secondary winding of N2 turns; a printed circuit board of layers superposed on one another, forming an aperture defining a perimeter; vias disposed at the centre of the primary and secondary windings on the perimeter of the aperture, the N1 and N2 turns being each disposed on a layer, according to any alternation between the N1 and N2 turns, each of the N1 and N2 turns being wound, partially around vias in forming a circular arc per layer; the circular arc of a layer being distinctly oriented with respect to the circular arcs of the other layers.

This application provides an electrical element, a circuit board, and a switching power supply. The electrical element includes a first magnetic core and a second magnetic core disposed opposite to each other. The first magnetic core and the second magnetic core enclose space for accommodating a winding. The first magnetic core and the second magnetic core are further configured to bind a magnetic induction wire. The electrical element further includes a third magnetic core located in the space enclosed by the first magnetic core and the second magnetic core. The third magnetic core is configured to wind the winding. The third magnetic core is fixedly connected to the first magnetic core and the second magnetic core. An air gap is disposed in at least one of the first magnetic core and/or the second magnetic core.

Disclosed are a transformer, and a power conversion apparatus or a photovoltaic module including the same. The transformer includes a first core including a base, a first protrusion member to protrude from the base, and a first external wall spaced apart from the first protrusion member and to surround the first protrusion member, a first winding wound in the first core, a second core including a second base, a second protrusion member to protrude from the second base, and a second external wall spaced apart from the second protrusion member and to surround the second protrusion member, a second winding wound in the second core, and a barrier rib configured to separate the first winding and the second winding from each other. Thus, ease of processing is achieved and radiation of electromagnetic noise is reduced.
