A multi-phase iron-core reactor has an iron core and windings. The iron core includes an outer iron core and an inner iron core. The outer iron core has teeth on which the N-phase windings are wound. The inner iron core faces the teeth through gaps, and has a shape so as to be able to provide at least two gap sizes in a selective manner.

Differential-coil, high-voltage series reactors respond quickly and reliably to current surges in electrical power systems (such as surges caused by shorted or downed lines). The reactors prevent voltage collapse and eliminate the possibility of wide area blackouts (major metropolitan areas or entire states).

The current transformer includes a magnetic circuit made of magnetic material that is intended to be placed around a primary conductor, and a secondary winding that is wound onto a portion of the magnetic circuit in order to deliver a secondary current to processing circuits. In this current transformer the magnetic circuit includes at least one device for varying the magnetization of a portion of the magnetic circuit according to the temperature in order to limit or to decrease the magnetic flux in the magnetic circuit when the temperature of the magnetic circuit increases. The protection device and the electrical circuit breaker include such a transformer.

There is described a device for controlling an amount of current within a power distribution network by manipulating the amount of magnetic flux in the device and thus the impedance experienced by the power distribution network across the device. This is achieved by winding a plurality of coils about a magnetically permeable core and by providing the device with a magnetically permeable bridge element that is movable between a fully-open position at which the net magnetic flux generated in the core by alternating currents in each coil is zero, and a fully-closed position at which a net magnetic flux is present in the core.
