First Claim
Patent Images
1. A current feeder assembly for feeding a 3-phase current signal from a source to a destination, said assembly comprising:
- a plurality of insulated conductors configured to feed said 3-phase current signal, each conductor having a rectangular cross-section defined by four sides, the plurality of conductors provided in a rectangular array with said sides of adjacent conductors adjacent one another, the conductors arranged within the array such that said sides of a given conductor of the array feeding a given current phase are adjacent only conductors feeding the other two current phases.

Abstract
An assembly and method for providing at multiphase current signals in which a plurality of conductors is arranged with conductors carrying dissimilar phases adjacent one another, and preferably in a balanced arrangement, such that the induced magnetic fields are subtractive from each other, and the assembly with reduced inductance results.

9. A feeder assembly for feeding a multiphase current signal from a source to a destination, said assembly comprising:
a plurality of insulated conductors, each conductor having a perimeter and being configured for carrying one phase of said multiphase current signal, each given conductor of the plurality being bordered about said perimeter substantially by conductors of the plurality feeding phases dissimilar to a phase fed by said given conductor. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

19. A method of feeding a multiphase current signal comprising the steps of:
-
providing a plurality of conductors configured to feed the multiphase current signal; and arranging the conductors relative to one another so that a magnetic field induced by current of a given phase passing through the conductors is substantially cancelled by magnetic fields induced by currents of dissimilar phases passing simultaneously through adjacent conductors.
