Abstract
The invention comprises a method for manufacturing an inductor, comprising the steps of: casting a cast winding comprising an inner cavity; inserting a first inductor core subsection into the inner cavity; inserting a second inductor core subsection into the inner cavity; and mechanically coupling the first inductor core subsection to the second inductor core subsection to form an inductor core wound by the cast windings. The method of manufacturing optionally includes the steps of: forming at least a portion of the cast winding into an arced helical shape; forming the first inductor core subsection and the second inductor core subsection into elements of a torpid shaped inductor core; deforming the cast winding to physically allow the step of inserting the first inductor core subsection into the inner cavity; and/or deforming at least a portion of the cast winding into an arced helical coil shape after the step of inserting.
