Abstract: An inductor includes a plurality of stacked core parts having aligned central openings, at least one spacer separating the core parts from one another, and a winding comprising a plurality turns wound around the stack of core parts through central openings of the core parts. The at least one spacer may include respective groups of spacers disposed between respective pairs of the core parts. In some embodiments, the at least one spacer may include a plurality of spacers disposed between first and second ones of the core parts and radially distributed in a circular pattern aligned with the first and second core parts.

Abstract: An electric vehicle charging device includes a processing unit having a memory with a routine stored therein which, when executed by the processing unit causes the processing unit to control circuitry to prevent the electric vehicle charging device from charging an electric vehicle for a random delay period and to allow the electric vehicle charging device to charge the electric vehicle starting when the random delay period ends, wherein the random delay period starts at a predetermined start time and lasts a random delay length of time. The random delay reduces the peak load on a transformer that the electric vehicle charging device and other electric vehicle charging devices receive power from.
