Abstract (en)

A magnetic device of separate non-interacting magnetic components housed in a housing 4. Each component has a central core 5 and a winding 2 and 3. Each core 5 has an air gap 6. The windings 2 and 3 extend beyond the air gap 6. This gives increase reluctance confining the magnetic field in the core 5. <IMAGE>
