Abstract
A transformer includes a frame type iron core having plate-shaped magnetic members. At least one of the plate-shaped magnetic members has a large width and forms a magnetic circuit in which a magnetic flux is concentrated. Each of the plate-shaped magnetic members includes magnetic member pieces. Each adjacent pair of end surfaces of the magnetic member pieces are joined together to form a joint portion. Three or more joint portions, each of which is formed, by joining together adjacent end surfaces of an adjacent pair of the magnetic member pieces included in the plate-shaped magnetic member having the large width, are shifted from each other in the direction of a magnetic path of the magnetic circuit to increase an effective cross sectional area of the magnetic path. The magnetic member pieces included in the plate-shaped magnetic member having the large width have a high magnetic permeability to reduce a magnetic resistance of the magnetic circuit. This configuration contributes to suppressing an increase in the material cost of the frame type iron core and an increase in the number of processes for manufacturing the frame type iron core and reducing a no-load loss.
