Abstract

A power switching system is coupled to a first voltage source and a second voltage source of different voltages through a first, second and third terminals, a common mode choke coil includes a core, a first, second and third coils such that each coil is connected in series to a terminal, respectively. The core includes at least a first core and a second core such that each coil is wound around to the both cores for attenuating the common mode noise in predetermined frequency bands, respectively.

Claims
