Abstract: An inverter transformer in which to overall structure and manufacturing process can be simplified despite its closed magnetic path structure, and a cost increase can be suppressed. Primary windings (24a, 24b, 24c) and secondary windings (25a, 25b, 25c) wound around a plurality of rod-like cores (23a, 23b, 23c) have leakage inductances. The primary windings (24a, 24b, 24c) axe wound around respective rod-like cores (23a, 23b, 23c) such that magnetic fluxes being induced in respective cores by the currents flowing through the primary windings (24a, 24b, 24c) are directed reversely to magnetic fluxes being induced in adjacent cores.

Abstract: In an inverter transformer, a primary winding and a secondary winding are wound around each of a plurality of bar-shaped magnetic cores so that the primary and the secondary windings have respective predetermined leakage inductances. The primary windings are wound in such a manner that a magnetic flux generated in one magnetic core by a current flowing through a primary winding provided around the one magnetic core is directed opposite to a magnetic flux generated in another magnetic core adjacent to the one magnetic core by a current flowing through a primary winding provided around the adjacent magnetic core.

Abstract: An electromagnetic wave absorber is formed of an Mn—Zn ferrite including: a spinel primary phase which contains 40.0 to 49.9 mol % Fe2O3, 4.0 to 26.5 mol % ZnO, and the remainder consisting of MnO; and a secondary phase which contains CaO as a base component. In the ferrite, the spinel primary phase accounts for 50.0 to 99.0% of the aggregate mass of the spinel primary phase and the secondary phase.

Abstract: In an inverter transformer, a primary winding and a secondary winding are wound around each of two bar-shaped magnetic cores, and a magnetic resin covers all or some portions, including at least both end portion of the circumference, of the bar-shaped magnetic cores so that the primary and the secondary windings have respective predetermined leakage inductances. The magnetic resin has a substantially smaller relative magnetic permeability than the bar-shaped magnetic cores. Part of magnetic flux generated at the bar-shaped magnetic cores leaks out beyond the bar-shaped magnetic cores and further beyond the magnetic resin so as to provide leakage inductance, which functions as ballast inductance. Also, the amount of magnetic flux passing through the magnetic resin and leaking out beyond the magnetic resin is reduced, and influence to the area around the inverter transformer is reduced.

Abstract: This invention is to provide an inexpensive high intensity discharge lamp lighting device having a simplified circuit construction, which does not use a full-bridge mode inverter. The high intensity discharge lamp lighting device includes a rectifier for a power-frequency power supply, a booster chopper mode sine wave converter, a zero volt switching push pull inverter, and a high intensity lamp of a halide lamp. And, as a starting device for the halide lamp, the high intensity discharge lamp lighting device generates a high voltage (5 KV) using a resonance by a ballast choke for the inverter and a condenser connected in parallel to the halide lamp, thereby inducing a glow discharge. And, a PFM (pulse frequency modulation) circuit controls the lamp current of the halide lamp to keep it constant.
