Abstract

A current-compensated inductor for filtering interference signals which are transmitted between two high-voltage components of a high-voltage on-board electrical system of a motor vehicle, includes a toroidal, in particular circular ring-shaped or oval ring-shaped, magnet core which surrounds an inner opening, and has at least two busbars for electrically connecting the two high-voltage components. The busbars are routed axially through the inner opening of the magnet core and are arranged at a distance from one another in the inner opening so as to form an air gap. An inner side of the magnet core, which inner side faces the inner opening, and regions of outer sides of the busbars, which regions face the inner side of the magnet core, have shapes which correspond to one another.

Claims (18)

1. A current-compensated inductor for filtering interference signals transmitted between two high-voltage components of a high-voltage on-board power system of a motor vehicle, comprising:

a toroidal magnetic core which surrounds an inner opening; and

at least two busbars for electrically connecting the two high-voltage components, wherein

the two busbars are guided axially through the inner opening in the magnetic core and are arranged spaced apart from one another in the inner opening while forming an airgap,

an inner side, facing the inner opening, of the magnetic core and areas, facing the inner side of the magnetic core, of outer sides of the busbars have shapes which correspond to one another,

the inner side of the magnetic core has at least in certain sections a concave shape,

the areas, facing the concavely shaped inner side of the magnetic core, of the outer sides of the busbars have a convex shape in order to bear over an entire surface on the inner side of the magnetic core, wherein the concavely shaped inner side of the magnetic core and the convexly shaped areas of the outer sides of the busbars have a same radius of curvature,

in order to form the concavely shaped inner side, the magnetic core has an oval-ring-shaped cross section which surrounds the inner opening in an oval fashion and has two circular-arc-shaped sections lying opposite one another and two straight element sections lying opposite one another,

the inductor has three busbars which are arranged spaced apart from one another along the straight element sections, forming two strip-shaped airgaps, and

in order to form the convexly shaped areas of the outer side, the two busbars lying on the outside have circular-segment-shaped cross-sectional areas, and the inner busbar has a rectangular-shaped cross section.

2. The current-compensated inductor according to claim 1 , wherein

the inner side of the magnetic core is formed from an electrically insulating material.

3. A filter for a high-voltage on-board power system of a motor vehicle comprising a current-compensated inductor according to claim 1 .

4. A high-voltage on-board power system for a motor vehicle which is driven electrically, comprising:

at least two high-voltage components; and

a filter according to claim 3 , wherein

the two high-voltage components are electrically connected to one another via the busbars of the inductor.

5. A motor vehicle comprising a high-voltage on-board power system according to claim 4 .
