Abstract: An induction heating device according to the present invention includes: an induction heating coil 10 with a conductor 100 wound around a predetermined axis line AL; a member 11 including at least one soft magnetic material 110, the at least one soft magnetic material 110 being disposed at or on an outer side of each of axial end portions 102 of the induction heating coil 10 in an extending direction of the axis line AL; and a heating object 2 disposed on an inner side of the induction heating coil 10 and the member 11, the heating object 2 being configured to be heatable by induction heating using a magnetic flux from the induction heating coil 10.

Abstract: A circuit for reducing harmonics in the current on AC side and the pulsation in the voltage on DC side in a multiplex polyphase rectifying circuit or an inverter, each having an interphase reactor and plural rectifying circuits, wherein a plural number of taps is provided either on said interphase reactor or on the secondary windings thereof which is directly connected with the central point of the interphase reactor on the central point thereof, and the taps are connected to the DC circuit respectively via rectifying elements.

Abstract: A harmonic and pulsation reducing circuit used in multiplex polyphase rectifier circuits such as a multiplex polyphase rectifier, a branch reactor, an external commutated invertor, etc. which is characterized in that a rectifier circuit to rectify the induced voltage of a secondary winding provided at interphase reactors interposed between other plural rectifier circuits is connected between the center of the interphase reactors and loads or a DC power source so that the rectified voltage may be superposed on the DC output voltage of the said plural rectifier circuits or the other DC power source.
