Description of the Related Art In recent years, energy saving and CO 2 problems have been increasing, and energy saving measures have been rapidly advanced in general household appliances and industrial equipment. In general, examples of the ones that consume a large amount of power and have a high energy saving effect include those that use motors such as air conditioners and refrigerators, and lighting equipment.

年、急速に進んでいる。In order to save energy in these products, adoption of high-efficiency motors, high-efficiency electric circuits, and the like have been promoted. It is a power supply section that converts an AC input of 50/60 Hz into a direct current, which causes a big problem in efficiency in an electric circuit. In order to improve the efficiency, a switching power supply has been rapidly spread in recent years.
【０００４】しかしながら、スイッチング電源を採用す

ており、例えばチョークインプット方式、一石コンバー
ター方式、アクティブフィルター方式などが挙げられる
が、いずれの方式においても電流の導通角を広げるため
にリアクトルが使用される。However, when a switching power supply is used, the generation of harmonic current becomes a problem due to the distortion of the current waveform. As a countermeasure against this, various circuit systems have been proposed, such as a choke input system, an Ichiseki converter system, and an active filter system. In any system, a reactor is used to widen the conduction angle of current. .

てスイッチング周波数を上げることが考えられる。In addition to the inductance value, the characteristics required for this reactor are wide-ranging, such as high conversion efficiency, no growl in the audible range, small temperature rise, small size and light weight, and low cost. There are various methods for achieving these characteristics, but it is conceivable to increase the switching frequency as the most effective means that can be solved at the same time.

電源では、上記特性に加え直流重畳特性が重要であり、
飽和磁化の低いフェライト材は使用できない。In this case, the reactor material used is important, and a material having a low loss up to a high frequency and a high magnetic permeability at a rated current is required. In fact, for small-capacity power supplies, it is a well-known fact that the commercialization of high-frequency ferrite materials has greatly contributed to the design of high-frequency power supplies. On the other hand, in a large capacity power supply, the DC superposition characteristics are important in addition to the above characteristics.
Ferrite materials with low saturation magnetization cannot be used.

ｚ以下に限定される。Therefore, other reactor materials must be used, but general silicon steel cannot be used because the core loss at high frequency is large, and even high silicon steel rapidly loses core loss when the frequency exceeds 20 kHz. Increase and the magnetic permeability significantly deteriorate, so the operating frequency is 20 kHz.
It is limited to z or less.

いる。[0008] Amorphous alloys are inevitably expensive due to the use of expensive boron and the need for special manufacturing equipment. In addition, the magnetostriction is large and the audible growl is inevitable. , Not the best material. On the other hand, the dust core has a drawback that the initial permeability is low, but the frequency characteristic is good, while the DC superimposition characteristic can be improved by lowering the initial permeability, and the core loss is relatively low. It is known.

Further, as a method for improving the core loss characteristic and the frequency characteristic, it is conceivable to reduce the eddy current radius and increase the specific resistance. In the future, energy saving and CO 2 suppression are indispensable issues, and it is considered that higher frequency and lower loss are inevitable in a large-capacity switched power source, and there is a strong demand for a reactor that can be adapted to it.
