Patent ID: 7969270

Claim:
A communications transformer comprising: a closed loop magnetic core which includes first and second, spaced-apart parallel sections; a primary winding divided into a first and second primary winding, each having an approximately equal number of turns, the first primary winding being disposed about the first section of the magnetic core and the second primary winding being disposed about the second section of the magnetic core, the first and second primary windings having a first connection such that the same current flows through both the first and second primary windings; and a secondary winding divided into a first and second secondary winding, each having an approximately equal number of turns, the first secondary winding being disposed about the first section of the magnetic core and the second secondary winding being disposed about the second section of the magnetic core, the first and second secondary windings having a second connection such that the same current flows through both the first and second secondary windings.
