Inductive component for a bus bar
The invention specifies an inductive component for a busbar. The inductive component has two air gaps which are arranged on opposite sides of the component, wherein the air gaps are at a distance from one another in a vertical direction of the component.
1. An arrangement comprising an inductive component and a busbar lead extending through the inductive component, the inductive component having two air gaps which are arranged on opposite sides of the component, wherein the air gaps are at a distance from one another in a vertical direction to reduce the losses in the busbar.
2. The arrangement according to claim 1 , the inductive component having two cores, wherein each core has a first limb and a second limb, wherein the first limb has a different length as compared to the second limb.
3. The arrangement according to claim 2 , in which the air gaps are located between the cores.
4. The arrangement according to claim 2 , in which a first air gap of the two air gaps is arranged between the first limb of the first core and the second limb of the second core, and a second air gap of the two air gaps is arranged between the second limb of the first core and the first limb of the second core.
5. The arrangement according to claim 2 , in which the inductive component has an opening through which the busbar extends, wherein the distance between the first air gap and the second air gap in the vertical direction is at least ¼ of a height of the opening in the horizontal direction.
6. The arrangement according to claim 2 , in which the inductive component has an opening through which the busbar extends, wherein the distance between the first air gap and the second air gap in the vertical direction is at most ¾ of a height of the opening in the horizontal direction.
7. The arrangement according to claim 2 , in which the cores have the same shape.
8. The arrangement according to claim 2 , in which at least one of the cores has the shape of a “U” core or of a “C” core, wherein the first limb has a different length than the second limb.
9. The arrangement according to claim 8 , in which the two cores have the shape of a “U” core or of a “C” core with limbs of different lengths, wherein each of the air gaps adjoins both cores.
10. The arrangement according to claim 1 , in which the inductive component has an opening through which the busbar extends, wherein the inductive component is of point-symmetrical design such that the inductive component is symmetrical with respect to a rotation of 180° about an axis running centrally through the opening in the direction of the busbar.
11. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the inductive component has not more than the two air gaps.
12. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the inductive component has longitudinal sides and face sides, wherein the extension of each of the longitudinal sides is larger than the extension of each of the face sides, wherein the air gaps are located only on longitudinal sides and wherein the face sides are free from any air gaps.
13. The arrangement according to claim 1 , in which the opposite sides are longitudinal sides of the busbar.
14. The arrangement according to claim 1 , which is designed to filter radiofrequency interference phenomena.
15. The arrangement according to claim 14 , in which the inductive component is designed for an EMC filter.
16. The arrangement according to claim 14 , in which the busbar is designed for use as an input filter element in a converter for electric drives.
