Abstract: A common-mode choke coil has induction immunity characteristics that are improved by a coil structure preventing a transmitter IC and a receiver IC from malfunctioning during an induction immunity test and which controls a decrease in ESD resistance and a decrease in self-resonance frequency. The common-mode choke coil includes a core, external electrodes, a pair of coils, and a top plate. The core includes a core section and a pair of flange sections. The pair of coils are wound around the core section of the core, and the ends of the coils are connected to the external electrodes, respectively. An underside and a side surface of the top plate are plated with a metal film, and bonded to the top surfaces of the flange sections preferably by an adhesive agent. The metal film is segmented into two separate portions so as to define two separate metal sections with a gap therebetween so that the metal sections are electrically disconnected.

Abstract: A flux sharing magnetic circuit has a parallel arrangement of secondary electromagnetic circuits with independent loads. An AC driven primary delivers current to the secondary circuits to maintain charge in their batteries. The batteries deliver DC current to the loads while secondary coils provide battery charging currents to maintain charge in the batteries. When current is not drawn by the battery or the load, flux is delivered to a flux pool in the magnetic circuit so that input AC power drain is reduced.

Abstract: Three-phase AC or two-phase DC choke arrangement of a frequency converter, in which is a magnetic core, in which are the phase-specific pillars of the AC choke arrangement or the branch-specific pillars of the DC choke arrangement (1a, 1b), around which are arranged the phase-specific windings of the AC choke arrangement or the branch-specific windings of the DC choke arrangement (Ldc1+, Ldc1?) to filter difference-mode currents, and in which an additional pillar (3) for damping common-mode currents is arranged in the magnetic core of the choke. The additional pillar (3) is arranged without the phase-specific or branch-specific windings fitted around it, in which case damping of the common-mode currents is achieved by means of the common-mode impedance formed by the windings arranged around the additional pillar and around the phase-specific or the branch-specific pillars.
