ELECTRICAL ASSEMBLIES INCLUDING COUPLERS FOR CANCELING MAGNETIC FLUX

Abstract:

An electrical assembly includes (a) a first inductor including a first winding wound around a first winding axis, (b) a second inductor separated from the first inductor in a first direction, and (c) a coupler at least partially disposed between the first inductor and the second inductor in the first direction, the coupler forming at least part of an electrical circuit enabling electric current to flow through the coupler, and the coupler being asymmetric with respect to a dividing axis of the first inductor extending in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction.
