Publication number: 20110234360Abstract: Disclosed is a wound iron core (3) for a static apparatus in which magnetic paths in the inside of the wound iron core are subdivided to improve iron core characteristics. The iron core (3) is configured by using two or more kinds of magnetic materials (11 to 14) with different magnetic permeabilities to form laminated blocks with single plates or a plurality of laminated plates and by alternately arranging the laminated blocks with different magnetic permeabilities from the inner circumference. An iron core material (14) with large magnetic permeability out of iron core materials with different magnetic permeabilities is arranged on the inner circumference side. Further, when the iron core materials with different magnetic permeabilities are alternately arranged, the iron core materials (11) with the same magnetic permeability are configured to gradually change in thickness to ease an excessive magnetic flux density distribution in the iron core.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2009Publication date: September 29, 2011Inventors: Kenji Nakanoue, Kazuyuki Fukui, Hidemasa Yamaguchi, Kouhei Satou, Tatsuhito Azegami, Makoto Shinohara, Toshiaki Takahashi, Tooru Honma, Masanao Kuwabara, Toshiki Shirahata, Yuuji Satou, Manabu Dohi, Ryosuke Mikoshiba, Hiroyuki Endou
