ANALYSIS OF THE ELECTRICAL AND ENERGY PARAMETERS OF A MULTILAYER INDUCTOR WITH SELF-COMPENSATION OF REACTIVE POWER

A special design of multilayer inductor is proposed for reducing the r eactive power and active losses. The inductor consists of two metal ba nds with a dielectric layer between them. Coil inductance is compensat ed for by the capacity between the bands. A mathematical model of this inductor is developed as a program package for calculating the distri bution of currents and voltages along the inductor and also the energy parameters, including electrical efficiency and the power factor. The current density distribution in the inductor and the resonance-relate d overvoltages are investigated. Possible application of such an induc tor is shown.
