  • Patent number: 10544805
    Abstract: An on-vehicle motor-driven compressor includes a compression unit, an electric motor, and an inverter device. The inverter device includes an inverter circuit and a noise reducer. The noise reducer includes a common-mode choke coil and a smoothing capacitor. The common-mode choke coil includes a case, a loop-shaped core accommodated in the case, a first winding and a second winding that are wound around the case, and a loop-shaped conductor that covers the core and the case. Parts of the conductor that are opposed to each other between the first winding and the second winding are spaced apart from each other. The case includes two projections that project from an outer surface of the case. The conductor is held by the two projections such that the conductor is spaced apart from the first winding and the second winding.

  • Publication number: 20190305647
    Abstract: A common-mode choke coil includes a loop-shaped core, a cover made of a conductor covering at least part of the core, a first winding wound around an outer surface of the cover, and a second winding wound around the outer surface of the cover. The cover includes a first region around which the first winding is wound, a second region around which the second winding is wound, and two connection regions that connect the first region and the second region to each other in a circumferential direction. The cover has first and second slits in an inner circumferential surface. The first slit extends such that the first region is non-continuous with respect to a winding direction of the first winding. The second slit extends such that the second region is non-continuous with respect to a winding direction of the second winding.
