Abstract

An insulating component having a first core accommodating section that receives a first magnetic body core, a second core accommodating section that receives a second magnetic body core, and a locking section. The first core accommodating section has two parallel core leg section accommodating sections that individually surround one of at least two leg sections of the first magnetic body core. The second core accommodating section is configured to surround the second magnetic body core. An aperture section is formed in the insulating component between the two parallel core leg section accommodating sections. The locking section is configured to be locked to a bus bar inserted into that aperture section.

Claims (34)

1. An insulating component constituted by a member having an insulation property, comprising:

a first core accommodating section having two parallel core leg section accommodating sections that each individually surrounds one of at least two leg sections of a first magnetic body core of a pair of magnetic body cores which are spaced apart from each other;

a second core accommodating section that surrounds a second magnetic body core of the pair of magnetic cores;

a locking section locked to a bus bar inserted into an aperture section located between the two parallel core leg section accommodating sections; and

wherein each of the two parallel core leg section accommodating sections has a top edge, a bottom surface and a side wall;

the top edges of the two parallel core leg section accommodating sections are in the same plane;

the two bottom surfaces of the two parallel core leg section accommodating sections are in the same plane, and

each of the side walls encompasses one of the at least two leg sections.

2. A conductive component comprising:

the insulating component according to claim 1 ; and

a conductive bus bar inserted into the aperture section,

wherein a through-hole is formed in the bus bar, and

the locking section of the insulating component includes a claw section locked to the through-hole.

3. The conductive component according to claim 2 , wherein end sections of the two core leg section accommodating sections protrude more than an end section of the bus bar disposed between the two core leg section accommodating sections.

4. The conductive component according to claim 2 , wherein the bus bar has a screw hole serving as a through-hole which screw-fastens and fixes a member different from the insulating component, and

the insulating component has a concave section which surrounds one end section of the screw hole.

5. The conductive component according to claim 3 , wherein the bus bar has a screw hole serving as a through-hole which screw-fastens and fixes a member different from the insulating component, and

the insulating component has a concave section which surrounds one end section of the screw hole.

6. A conductive component comprising:

an insulating component constituted by a member having an insulation property; and

a conductive bus bar having a screw hole serving as a through-hole which screw-fastens and fixes a member different from the insulating component,

wherein the insulating component has a concave section which surrounds one end section of the screw hole;

a first core accommodating section having two parallel core leg section accommodating sections that each individually surrounds one of at least two leg sections of a first magnetic body core of a pair of magnetic body cores which are spaced apart from each other;

a second core accommodating section that surrounds a second magnetic body core of the pair of magnetic cores;

a locking section locked to a bus bar inserted into an aperture section located between the two parallel core leg section accommodating sections; and

wherein each of the two parallel core leg section accommodating sections has a top edge, a bottom surface and a side wall;

the top edges of the two parallel core leg section accommodating sections are in the same plane;

the two bottom surfaces of the two parallel core leg section accommodating sections are in the same plane, and

each of the side walls encompasses one of the at least two leg sections.

7. An insulating compound according to claim 1 , further comprising a partition between the first core accommodating section and the second core accommodating section.

8. An insulating component according to claim 1 , wherein each of the two parallel core leg section accommodating sections has a substantially rectangular cross section.

9. An insulating component according to claim 1 , wherein the aperture section has an opening between the top edges of the two parallel core leg section accommodating sections and extends between the side walls of the two parallel core leg section accommodating sections.

10. An insulating component according to claim 7 , wherein the locking section extends into the aperture section to engage a leg bar.

11. An insulting component according to claim 10 , wherein the locking section extends elastically into the aperture section.
