Abstract

A dual transformer design, each transformer having at least a primary winding and a secondary winding disposed on a core means, wherein the core means is circumferentially disposed about an inner housing means, and the whole structure located within an outer housing. The primary winding of one transformer of said pair of transformers is electrically coupled to the primary winding of the other in a manner such as to cause induced eddy currents from one transformer to be of a magnitude and direction so as to substantially cancel the induced eddy currents from the other transformer.
