A method of manufacturing an amorphous alloy magnetic core, which includes preparing a layered body by layering amorphous alloy thin strips one on another, and has one end face and another end face in a width direction of the thin strips and an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface orthogonal to a layering direction of the thin strips; forming a hole passing through from the one end face of the layered body as a starting point; subjecting the layered body to which the hole has been formed to a heat treatment while measuring an internal temperature of the hole; and forming a resin layer which blocks the hole and covers at least a part of the one end face by coating and curing a two-liquid mixed type epoxy resin composition having a viscosity of from 38 Pa.Math.s to 51 Pa.Math.s and a T. I. value of from 1.6 to 2.7 on at least a part of at least the one end face of the layered body after being subjected to the heat treatment.

An amorphous alloy magnetic core including a layered body in which amorphous alloy thin strips are layered one on another, the layered body having one end face and another end face in a width direction of the amorphous alloy thin strips, an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface orthogonal to a layering direction of the amorphous alloy thin strips, and a hole passing through from a part of the one end face as a starting point, the width direction corresponding to a depth direction of the hole.

In a single phase transformer core and transformer, thin-strip metal is wound into multiple rings of different widths and arranged to define a ring-like structure having a stepped, substantially circular cross-section without any cuts or gaps in the magnetic path, or the core is wound from a tapered strip that is configured to define a substantially circular cross-section when wound, while in a three phase transformer core and transformer two inner frames, each made of one or more wound rings are arranged side-by-side and an outer frame of one or more rings is wound around the two inner frames, the core being covered with epoxy prior to winding coils on it.

A power converter performs DC power conversion between a pair of first DC terminals and a pair of second DC terminals. DC nodes of n DC/AC converters are connected in parallel or in series between the first DC terminals. A multiple transformer has n primary windings and n secondary windings. An AC node of each DC/AC converter is connected to its corresponding primary winding. An AC node of each AC/DC converter is connected to its corresponding secondary winding. DC nodes of n AC/DC converters are connected in series or in parallel between the second DC terminals. The multiple transformer is configured such that a magnetic path is shared among the n primary windings and a magnetic path is shared among the n secondary windings.
