Abstract:
1. A cellular transformer comprising at least a first magnetic core having at least a first through hole therein for receiving at least a first secondary winding having at least a first secondary turn and a primary winding having a plurality of primary turns, the at least a first secondary winding passing at least once through the at least a first through hole of the at least a first magnetic core so that a changing magnetic flux in the at least a first magnetic core may induce a secondary voltage therein, at least a first cellular insert passing through the at least a first through hole of the at least a first magnetic core having therein a plurality of through holes generally parallel to the at least a first through hole of the at least a first magnetic core for receiving the primary winding, and the primary winding being wound through the at least a first cellular insert and through the at least a first through hole of the at least a first magnetic core to induce a changing magnetic flux therein, such that the plurality of primary turns is distributed generally equally among the plurality of through holes in the at least a first cellular insert and the plurality of through holes in the at least a first cellular insert guides and supports the plurality of turns of the primary winding.
