The invention comprises a method of: providing an inductor core, placing a winding guide within an inch of the inductor core, positioning a first turn element with the winding guide, positioning a second turn element with the winding guide, and mechanically coupling the first turn element to the second turn element to form at least a part of a winding, the winding forming a wrapped shape about the inductor core. Optionally and preferably, turn elements are subsequently joined, mechanically coupled, and/or welded together to form sections of the winding.

Inductor winding guide apparatus and method of use thereof

The invention comprises an apparatus, comprising an inductor, the inductor comprising: an inductor core; a first winding section comprising a first cast shape and a second winding section comprising the first cast shape, the first winding section mechanically joined to the second winding section to form a winding, the winding forming a wound shape about the inductor core. Optionally and preferably, a third winding section, comprising a second cast shape, mechanically joins the first winding section to the second winding section and a mechanical connector and/or an aluminum weld join the first winding section to the third winding section.

Cast winding inductor apparatus and method of use thereof

The invention comprises an apparatus, comprising: an inductor, comprising: an inductor core and a winding comprising a wound shape around the inductor core, where the winding comprises a first cross-sectional area at a first longitudinal position along the winding and a second cross-sectional area at a second longitudinal position along the winding, the second cross-sectional area at least twenty percent larger than the first cross-sectional area. Optionally and preferably, the winding includes a first set of cast elements sharing a first geometric shape and a second set of cast elements sharing a second geometric shape, where the alternating members of the first set of cast elements and the second set of cast elements are welded together to form the winding.
