Abstract:
1. An electrical reactor comprising: a magnetic core formed of a single T-shaped core having an elongated end extending perpendicularly from a pair of shorter ends and two L-shaped cores, the two L-shaped core sections attached to the T-shaped core to form a closed ended reactor; a wire wound concentric to the magnetic core about the elongated end of the single T-shaped core to form a coil; a plurality of individual windings of the coil having a substantial portion of the individual winding extending beyond adjacent windings to form a plurality of taps in the coil; a comb-like structure arranged adjacent the magnetic core to separate individual windings from adjacent windings, the comb-like structure extending past the wire toward the two L-shaped cores to form a gap between the wire and the two L-shaped cores; and a hole formed in the wire at each tap.
