Abstract: The split core unit includes a split core, a coil, and an insulating member insulating the split core from the coil. The insulating member has end-surface insulating members. Each end-surface insulating member has, at a circumferential-direction center of the outer circumferential surface, a straight-shaped first groove extending in the axial direction. A yoke portion of the split core has, at a circumferential-direction center of the outer circumferential surface, a straight-shaped second groove extending in the axial direction over the entire length of the split core. The first grooves of the two end-surface insulating members and the second groove of the split core communicate with each other. The two first grooves appear to overlap the second groove as seen in the axial direction.
