Abstract

Two coils 3a, 3b are wound over adjacent portions of a first magnetic core having two closed magnetic circuits and a second magnetic core. The winding directions of the two coils are set so that the magnetomotive forces generated by both coils may cancel each other in the second magnetic core. The magnetic fluxes flowing in the first magnetic core decrease the higher harmonics of an input current of the power source circuit, while the magnetic fluxes flowing in the second magnetic core 2 decrease the noise between the line and the ground. That is, the choke coil performs the function of choke coil and the function of noise filter at the same time.
