  • Publication number: 20120262264
    Abstract: A liquid-cooled inductive component includes a magnetic core and pressures pieces which are arranged on two opposite sides of the magnetic core and are in mechanical contact with the magnetic core either directly or via a thermally conductive material. A winding is provided which is wound around the magnetic core and the pressure pieces, so that the pressure pieces are arranged between portions of the magnetic core and the winding. The pressure pieces are configured as hollow bodies including coolant connections, portions of the winding abutting on the pressure pieces directly or via a thermally conductive material.

  • Patent number: 7453331
    Abstract: A polyphase line filter includes a first filter branch between a first filter input and a first filter output, the first filter branch comprising a series connection of at least two inductances wound onto different legs of a multi-leg filter core, and a second filter branch between a second filter input and a second filter output, the second filter branch comprising a series connection of at least two inductances wound onto the different legs of the multi-leg filter core. An inventive polyphase line filter has a smaller setup volume, a smaller power dissipation and is less expensive than conventional polyphase line filters. In connection with electronical appliances having internal B2 or B6 rectifier circuits and subsequent smoothing by capacitors, the inventive polyphase line filter provides for a smoothed direct current downstream of the rectifier and for a strongly reduced ripple current in the smoothing capacitors of a consumer.
