TOROIDAL INDUCTIVE DEVICES AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A method of forming a magnetic component, comprising:
- providing a form of generally toric-section shape;
winding magnetic material on the form so as to form a magnetic member of generally toric-section shapeslicing the magnetic member such that it can be spread open at resulting cut ends thereof; and
removing the sliced magnetic member from the form.

Abstract
A toroidal inductive device has an electrical winding component (11) of generally toroidal shape and discrete magnetic components (12) shaped as toric sections. The discrete magnetic components (12) are arranged on the electrical winding component such that the discrete magnetic components (12) are offset circumferentially from each other and at least partially embrace the electrical winding component (11). The magnetic components (12) define magnetic flux gaps in meridional planes. A method for forming a magnetic component is also provided wherein magnetic wire is wound onto a toroidal electrical winding component without the need for passing a spool through a central opening of the tumid.

13. A method of making an inductive device, comprising:
-
providing a generally toroidal shaped electrical winding component; winding a first length of magnetic wire at least partially around the electrical winding component in a first winding direction; catching a looped portion of the first length of magnetic wire with a looped portion of a second length of magnetic wire; winding the second length of magnetic wire at least partially around the electrical winding component in a second winding direction generally opposite to the first winding direction; and repeating the foregoing steps for additional lengths of magnetic wire with the electrical winding component being rotated about an axis thereof. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
