  • Publication number: 20080042505
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a soft magnetic core for generators and generator with a core of this type. To produce a core, a plurality of magnetically activated and/or magnetically activatable textured laminations is produced from a CoFeV alloy. This plurality of laminations is then stacked to form a core assembly. Then the core assembly, if consisting of magnetically activatable laminations, is magnetically activated. Finally, the magnetically activated core assembly is eroded to produce a soft magnetic core. A core of this type is suitable for a generator with a stator and a rotor for high-speed aviation turbines, the laminations in the core assembly being oriented in different texture directions relative to one another.

  • Patent number: 7265651
    Abstract: The invention relates to an inductive component (10) whose soft magnetic core (11) is produced by pouring a casting resin into a mold (1a) filled with a soft magnetic alloy powder and by subsequently hardening the casting resin with the alloy powder in order to form a solid soft magnetic core. Contrary to conventional injection molding methods, this technique prevents the surface insulation of the alloy particles from becoming damaged so that the formation of bulk eddy currents in the resulting soft magnetic cores can be prevented to a large extent. This enables a distinct reduction in the electric loss of the inductive component.

  • Patent number: 7057485
    Abstract: Addressed is a current transformer comprising a primary conductor, a secondary winding and a soft-magnetic core, whereby the primary conductor and secondary winding are electrically insulated from one another and are magnetically intercoupled via the core. In addition, a current to be detected is injected into the primary conductor, and a compensating current is injected into the secondary winding. An additional conductor is provided which is electrically connected in parallel to the primary winding, and which is situated in the area of the core at which a flux rise occurs, whereby the flux rise is at least partially compensated for by the flux elicited by the current flowing in the additional conductor.
