Abstract:
1. A magnetic core device for generating magnetic flux comprising: a first magnetic core member having a generally open shape and first and second surfaces, said first and second surfaces having first and second surface areas, respectively; and a second magnetic core member having third and fourth surfaces for joining with the first and second surfaces, respectively, of the first magnetic core member to form a magnetic flux path, wherein the third and fourth surfaces have oversized third and fourth surface areas such that the third surface area has a length and a width that is greater than a length and a width of the first surface area and the fourth surface area has a length and a width that is greater than a length and a width of the second surface area, and wherein the oversized third and fourth surface areas are only sufficiently larger to accommodate shifting and skew alignment during assembly of the first and second magnetic core members.
