Abstract (en)

[origin: US4393157A] The present invention relates to a variable inductor comprising a first closed magnetic circuit, formed of an anisotropic material, through which flows an alternative magnetic field, and a second closed magnetic circuit, also formed by an anisotropic material, through which circulates an adjustable direct current magnetic field. The first and second magnetic circuits are so disposed with respect to one another as to define at least two common magnetic spaces wherein the respective alternative and direct magnetic fields are orthogonally superimposed to orient the magnetic dipoles in the common spaces according to a direction predetermined by the intensity of the direct current magnetic field of the second circuit and thus to control the permeability of the first magnetic circuit to the alternative field. Arrangements for application of the variable inductance to monophase and three-phase circuits are proposed, which inductance may then operate in self-control with or without an inverse control.
