  • Each magnetic member element 15b is also spaced from each other by the insulations 16e made such as of glass epoxy in a manner similar to the magnetic member elements 13b of the reactor magnetic member assembly 17. However, this spaced arrangement of the magnetic member elements 15b is for the purpose of minimizing the eddy losses generated in the magnetic member 15 due to the leakage flux intruding perpendicularly to the surface of the magnetic member 15 and has the orientation different from those in the reactor magnetic member assembly 17, so that the magnetic member 15 may be considered as an air-gap-less magnetic member in a magnetic sense.
  • Each magnetic member element 15b is a lamination in which rectangular magnetic plates are stacked in the direction parallel to the direction of stack (arrow A) of the rectangular pancake coils.
  • the insulator 16 comprises two insulating plates 16b and 16c sandwiching the magnetic member elements 15b therebetween to securely support them by means of insulating pins 16a, insulations 16d for filling the spaces defined between the insulating plates 16b and 16c at each end which is not occupied by the magnetic member elements 15b and insulations 16e inserted between the magnetic member elements 15b, thereby to generally insulatingly support the magnetic member elements 15 relative to the iron core 5 and the windings 6 and 7.
