Abstract

A power conversion device includes a magnetic core; and a plurality of windings surrounding portions of the magnetic core, including a first winding and a second winding magnetically coupled through the magnetic core. The magnetic core comprises a first part formed of a first material and a second part formed of a second material, the first material having a first stiffness and the second material having a second stiffness substantially less than the first stiffness. The first winding and the second winding are magnetically coupled through the first part of the magnetic core.
