Abstract:
Yoke formed by a stack of magnetic laminations 4 that have mutually parallel edge notches 7 with open lips, these being located at least in the corners of the inductor.These notches are preferably spaced apart by a few mm, but the separating interval may be higher, from 1 cm and beyond, without however exceeding about 5 cm. They start at the lamination edges and extend, preferably along straight lines, towards the interior over a distance that depends on the environment of the inductor. They are produced by removing material so that each notch 7 has non-touching lips (therefore open lips), even preferably at discrete points, so as to prevent offering bridges for the circulation of eddy currents thereat.The invention applies to the production of heating inductors, by controlling the thermal behaviour of the inductors by simple means that prevent them from overheating.
