Definitions

  • the present invention relates to magnetic core transformers and to such transformers having a variable coupling factor which can be electronically regulated.
  • the objects of the present invention are achieved by providing a transformer having a core with four symmetrically arranged apertures wherein each of the input and output windings penetrates through two different non-adjacent apertures of the core.
  • the arrangement is such that when the input winding is energized, the associated total magnetic flux provided thereby does not permeate the total turn area of the output winding and thereby provides zero coupling.
  • the core may also be produced from a plurality of parts in the interest of more simple production methods and winding techniques for the transformer and particularly for the purpose of using prewound coils which can be slipped onto the core.
  • the core parts may be assembled, for example, with highly machined joints or in the form of an overlapped stacking of transformer laminations.
  • FIGURES 3 and 4 Such a core is illustrated in FIGURES 3 and 4, in which FIGURE 3 is a side view and FIGURE 4 a top view thereof.
  • the core 1 is in the shape of a square and comprises four component cores 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d which bear against one another at their highly machined surfaces.
  • FIGURES 3 and 4 It is apparent from FIGURES 3 and 4 that the two component windings 9 and '10 which are connected in series to form the control winding 8 are arranged in different core apertures than that shown in FIGURES l and 2. However, the direction of the current in these component windings when penetrating the various apertures is such that the effect of the control windings on the input and output windings is the same in both cases.
  • FIG- URE 6 indicates a considerable variation in the output voltage V, which rises from very low values to essentially the full value of the input voltage V with an increase in the control number of ampere-turns 0,
  • the approximation to a zero output voltage in the decoupled state is, in practice, only limited by the asymmetries in the position of the core apertures and by the capacitative coupling between the transmitter windings. These factors, however, do not effect the principle of the present invention and the influence thereof can be reduced to a very great extent.
  • the core for the transformer may have different shapes and may be formed differently.
  • the core may consist of a stack of transformer laminations or may be produced from soft magnetic ferrite materials.
  • Ferrites with low saturation induction and high permeabil1ty are particularly advantageous when control power has to be very low with a low power to be transmitted, for example, in modulators or magnetic amplifiers.
  • ferrites permit the transmission or modulation of high frequencies. Therefore, the transformer structure greatly depends upon the application for such transformer.
