The magnetic core assembly includes two substrates, four winding pillars and an auxiliary pillar unit. The four winding pillars and the auxiliary pillar unit are located between the two substrates. A connecting line of centers of the winding pillars forms a quadrangle which has a first diagonal line and a second diagonal line. One winding is wound around two winding pillars on the first diagonal line, and magnetic fluxes on these two winding pillars have the same direction and amount. The other winding is wound around the other two winding pillars located on the second diagonal line, and magnetic fluxes on these two winding pillars have the same direction and amount. The directions of the magnetic fluxes on the two neighboring winding pillars are opposite.

The present invention provides a magnetic-inductance component, and relates to the field of magnetic circuit theory and application, and in particular, to the design of magnetic circuit components. The magnetic-inductance component is a multi-turn short-circuit coil wound around a magnetic circuit. A magnetic-inductance value of the magnetic-inductance component is adjusted by selecting metal conductors with different numbers of turns, materials, cross-sectional areas, and lengths to change an amplitude and a phase of a magnetic flux of the magnetic circuit. The present invention purposely changes the operating state and operating trajectory of a vector in the magnetic circuit by adding the magnetic-inductance component to the magnetic circuit or removing the magnetic-inductance component from the magnetic circuit, to make a state of a magnetic flux vector in the magnetic circuit to be consistent with a target magnetic flux vector state. Compared with a magnetic circuit including a reluctance only, a magnetic circuit vector model built by using the magnetic-inductance component as a core is more consistent with the actual physical situation, which is beneficial to the improvement of the accuracy of magnetic circuit analysis and calculation.
