Abstract: The conventional orthogonal-core variable inductor works in a saturation state using direct current, thus increasing the harmonics of the alternating current. This paper presents an orthogonal-core variable inductor that consisted of one E core and one U core. The three-phase variable inductor reduces the harmonic components because of its unique magnetic circuit topology. It does not include the third-harmonic components in its output current. Some basic characteristics are verified through simulation and experimental results. (c) 2014 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
