Abstract
An electrical reactor assembly and method of assembly is disclosed. The reactor is formed from a combination of a magnetic T-core and a pair of magnetic L-cores. A plurality of comb-like separators is placed over a vertical portion of the T-core. A wire, with a rectangular cross-section, is wound about the vertical portion of the T-core thereby forming a coil. The comb-like separators electrically isolate the wire from adjacent windings and the T-core. The L-cores are attached to the T-core such that they flank two sides of the coil. A plurality of taps is formed on a side of the coil that is not flanked by one of the L-cores. The taps are formed by extending individual windings further from the T-core than other common windings. Preferably, a hole is formed through the rectangular wire at the taps to provide a secure electrical connection to the wire.
