Abstract

Systems and methodologies that regulate a transformer's magnetic field (and attributes dependent thereupon, such as voltage, current, impedance and the like), via employing a control component(s) that affect the magnetic path between the primary and secondary winding of the transformer. Such control component can include ferric material and wire winding component(s) that can decouple the magnetic flux between the primary and secondary winding, wherein the path of the magnetic field thru the transformer is affected via a selective short of the voltage that is induced in the wire winding component associated with the control component.

Claims (28)

1 . A transformer comprising:

a primary winding;

a secondary winding; and

a control component that regulates a magnetic flux between the primary winding and the secondary winding, via a distribution of the magnetic flux on at least two magnetic paths.

2 . The transformer of claim 1 , one magnetic path of the at least two magnetic paths is a bypass path that hinders availing the magnetic flux to the secondary winding.

3 . The transformer of claim 2 , another magnetic path of the at least two magnetic paths facilitates flow of the magnetic flux to the secondary winding.

4 . The transformer of claim 1 , a magnetic coupling for the primary winding, the secondary winding and the control component occur in a substantially same plane.

5 . The transformer of claim 1 further comprising a non-saturated core.

6 . The transformer of claim 1 , the control component and the primary coil and the secondary coil are magnetically coupled in substantially a same plane.

7 . The transformer of claim 1 , a three phase AC power controllable by the control component.

8 . The transformer of claim 1 , the control component comprising a plate positioned between the first coil and the second coil.

9 . The transformer of claim 8 , the plate comprising a plurality of windings.

10 . The transformer of claim 9 , the plate with lead wires to induce a short circuit therein.

11 . A method of regulating a magnetic flux in a transformer;

connecting a primary winding to a voltage source;

inducing a voltage in a control component magnetically coupled to the primary winding; and

supplying a short in the voltage of the control component.

12 . The method of claim 11 further comprising bypassing a magnetic flux from the primary winding to the secondary winding.

13 . The method of claim 13 further comprising turning on the transformer.

14 . The method of claim 12 further comprising supplying the magnetic flux in substantially a same plane of the primary winding and the secondary winding.

15 . The method of claim 11 further comprising inducing a magnetic flux from the primary winding to the secondary winding.

16 . The method of claim 11 further comprising regulating a three phase AC power.

17 . The method of claim 11 further comprising flowing the magnetic flux at right angles to windings of the control component.

18 . The method of claim 11 further comprising selecting cross section of ferrite material associated with the control component.

19 . The method of claim 11 further comprising avoiding a saturation of cores associated with the transformer.

20 . A transformer comprising:

means for creating a magnetic flux transferable between a first winding and a second winding; and

means for regulating the magnetic flux between the first winding and the second winding via a distribution thereof on at least two magnetic paths.
