A reactor assembly including a first core formed of a plurality of stacked E-shaped planar metal laminates welded together, and a second core formed of a plurality of stacked I-shaped planar metal laminates welded together. The first core includes a plurality of legs having bottom surfaces, the plurality of legs including first and second outer legs and a center leg. A bobbin assembly is provided with a plurality of bobbins each having a hollow inner cavity, and wire wound around the bobbin. The plurality of bobbins including first and second outer bobbins and a center bobbin. A U-shaped spring clip includes a pair of clip arms that each extend down through a different one of the inner cavities, and tab apertures that are engaged with matching latching tabs on the second core, such as on a mounting foot secured to the second core.

Bobbin wound electrical reactor assembly

In one embodiment, the instant invention can provide an inductor that at least includes the following component(s): at least one FAP positioned along at least one magnetic flux path; where the at least one FAP is a high permeability core gap piece; and where the at least one FAP has an effective magnetic permeability that varies based on at least in part on one of the following factors: i) at least one magnetic flux through the at least one FAP, and ii) sufficient heating of the at least one FAP.

Harmonic mitigation devices and applications thereof

The magnetic core and electrical coils of a multiple phase inductor are held together by a non-magnetically permeable retainer. The retainer has a base with a cavity that receives the magnetic core and has U-shaped arms that form channels which guide and align the components during assembly. A retainer cap snaps onto the base in a manner that retains the core elements and electrical coils. An electrical terminal block also snaps onto the cap for easy assembly.
