Patent attributes
A DC inductor comprising a core structure (11) comprising one or more magnetic gaps (12, 13), a coil (14) wound on the core structure (11), at least one permanent magnet (15) positioned in the core structure, the magnetization of the permanent magnet (15) opposing the magnetization producible by the coil (14). The DC inductor further comprises at least one magnetic slab (16) inserted to the core structure which forms the one or more magnetic gaps (12, 13), at least one supporting member (17) made of magnetic material extending from the core structure inside the core structure and supporting the at least one permanent magnet (15), and that the at least one supporting member (17) is arranged to form a magnetic path for the at least one permanent magnet.
