  • Publication number: 20190392979
    Abstract: An electromagnetic device includes: an outer circumferential iron core; at least three iron core leg portions; and coils, wherein each of the iron core leg portions is disposed in such a way that one end portion of the coil is supported by the outer circumferential iron core in a cantilevered manner and magnetically bound to the outer circumferential iron core while the other end portion is magnetically bound to the other end portions of the other iron core leg portions, and includes a base including an opening for housing a portion of the coils and holding the outer circumferential iron core at a position of a predetermined height from the mounting surface and a supporting structure that is disposed in contact with the other end portions of the iron core leg portions and that supports the iron core leg portions at a predetermined height from the mounting surface.

  • Publication number: 20190311838
    Abstract: A multiphase transformer according to the present disclosure includes a peripheral iron core, at least six leg iron cores arranged on an inner surface of the peripheral iron core at established intervals in a circumferential direction, and coils each wound on each of the at least six leg iron cores. Each of the at least six leg iron cores is arranged such that one end in the direction of a winding axis of the coil is magnetically connected to the peripheral iron core, and the other end in the direction of the winding axis is magnetically connected to the other end of another leg iron core of the at least six leg iron cores. The at least six coils are assigned to individual phases of the multiphase transformer in twos or more.

  • Patent number: 10261483
    Abstract: In a digitally controlled power source, a setting value of an output voltage therefrom is set in advance in the vicinity of an upper limit within a tolerable range of fluctuation. Even if a voltage drop is caused by starting currents that flow upon initial rise of DC-DC converters in a subsequent stage, such setting makes it possible to confine values of the output voltage within the tolerable range of fluctuation because the setting value of the output voltage is set in advance at a relatively high value. Accordingly, the starting currents in the DC-DC converters can be increased without restriction so that rise time for the power source can be shortened.
