Abstract: A reactor has a cylindrical coil which is energized to create a magnetic flux, a core composed of magnetic powder mixed resin, the coil being buried in the core. The reactor has an inner core which is provided in an inner periphery of the coil and extends along an axial direction of the coil. The reactor has a case in which the coil, the core and the inner core are disposed. The case has a projection which projects inside of the case and a concave portion which is concave toward a projecting direction of the projection. The case including the projection and concave portion is formed in one piece by using die casting.

Abstract: A battery charger includes a primary side circuit, a transformer, a secondary side circuit and a control circuit. The secondary side circuit includes a first output unit and a second output unit. The battery charges a main battery and an auxiliary battery. The first output unit, which is connected to a main battery, includes an integrated rectifier-converter and a smoothing circuit. The integrated rectifier-converter is formed using MOSFETs. When charging the auxiliary battery with power from the main battery, power from the main battery is converted by the integrated rectifier-converter to AC power which induces power in an output winding of a transformer connected to the auxiliary battery.
