    Abstract: A coil for forming an induced magnetic field may include a first coil bundle formed of a first conducting wire wound in a first direction, the first coil bundle having an inner space of a prescribed inner width, a second coil bundle formed of a second conducting wire wound in a second direction, the second coil bundle having a prescribed outer width that is smaller than the inner width of the first coil bundle, and a connector that electrically connects the first conducting wire and the second conducting wire to each other. The second coil bundle may be provided in the inner space of the first coil bundle. The conducting wires of the first and second coil bundles may be wound in opposite directions and gaps between coil bundles may be changed. Accordingly, the magnetic field can be more evenly distributed in a wider area while maintaining a constant inductance.

  • Publication number: 20140028287
    Abstract: A current transformer is described which comprises a housing having one or more apertures, each for receiving a primary cable or busbar, one or more magnetic cores enclosed within the housing and being positioned proximate to respective ones of the apertures so that a magnetic field is produced in a magnetic core when a primary current flows through a primary cable or busbar received through the respective aperture, and one or more secondary windings enclosed within the housing, each secondary winding being wrapped around at least a portion of a respective magnetic core so that a secondary current is induced in a secondary winding when a magnetic field is produced in the respective magnetic core. Shunt circuitry is enclosed within the housing and is connected across the secondary windings to generate a respective voltage signal for each secondary winding. A connector socket is integrally mounted to the housing for outputting the voltage signals.

  • Patent number: 8421566
    Abstract: A linear solenoid includes a coil assembly having a coil, and a cup-shaped yoke arranged at an outer peripheral side of the coil. The yoke is provided with a recess portion that is opened at least at a position in a circumferential direction of the yoke and extends in an axial direction of the yoke. The coil assembly includes a connector portion that has a terminal connected to an exterior and is exposed from the recess portion to an exterior of the yoke, and a secondary molding portion made of a secondary molding resin in which the coil is insert-molded. Furthermore, the secondary molding portion includes a cover portion that is arranged to cover the recess portion of the yoke from an outer peripheral side of the recess portion. Thus, the cover portion can restrict foreign-material mixed oil from being introduced into the yoke.

  • Publication number: 20120176213
    Abstract: An additional miniature switch or jumper switch to be integrated within the power connector of any device that is using transformer but that does not need to be connected to it all the time. The energy saving switch will disconnect the primary winding of the transformer from the voltage source when the device does not need to be powered. The energy saving switch could also be integrated within the turn-on/off circuit of any devices that is using transformer continuously plugged to a voltage source to power the device that may be turned-off either with an interrupter (mechanical or even electronically with remote control). The energy saving switch operates when a transformer is not in use but still wasting energy while connected to a voltage supply. The energy saving switch will simply disconnect the primary winding of the transformer when no device is connected or when the device is turned-off.
