Abstract
An inductor having a coil member commonly wound on a couple of closed magnetic circuits made of a soft magnetic material. A magnetic gap is provided at a part of the soft magnetic material of at least one of the two closed magnetic circuits, and a permanent magnet providing a magnetic bias is inserted in the magnetic gap. This inductor is used in series between a DC power source providing a superimposed current of a DC current and an AC current and a load. The inductance of the inductor is very large with respect to a small DC current, while it reduces sharply when the applied DC current increases to be a certain value to show a substantially constant low value with respect to a DC current value beyond the certain value.
