Abstract:
1. An inductive electrical device for use with multiphase electricity, comprising: a. a first core leg, having a central axis; b. a first pancake coil, wherein said first pancake coil has a height, an inner circumference, and an outer circumference, and wherein the difference between the diameter of said first pancake coil at said outer circumference and the diameter at said inner circumference is substantially greater than said height of said first pancake coil; c. wherein said first pancake coil is placed proximate said first core leg, with said inner circumference being aligned with said central axis of said first core leg; d. a second core leg, having a central axis, wherein said central axis of said second core leg lies parallel to said central axis of said first core leg; e. a second pancake coil, wherein said second pancake coil has a height, an inner circumference, and an outer circumference, and wherein the difference between the diameter of said second pancake coil at said outer circumference and the diameter at said inner circumference is substantially greater than said height of said second pancake coil; f. wherein said second pancake coil is placed proximate said second core leg, with said inner circumference being aligned with said central axis of said second core leg; and g. wherein said second core leg is displaced from said first core leg by a distance which results in a portion of said first pancake coil overlapping a portion of said second pancake coil.
