Claims
- 1. A transformer circuit comprising:
- a power supply;
- a load; and
- a transformer including: hollow coil bobbin having a primary winding section divided from a secondary winding section;
- a coil having a primary winding connected to said power supply and a secondary winding connected to said load, said primary and secondary windings being successively wound about said hollow coil bobbin in said primary winding section and said secondary winding section, respectively; and
- a first E-shaped core having three elongated parallel core legs and a second E-shaped core having three shortened parallel core legs which are shorter than said elongated core legs, each with a center core leg inserted into one end of said hollow coil bobbin,
- wherein ends of said three elongated parallel core legs for said first E-shaped core meet at an abutting substantially flat joint against corresponding ends of said three shortened parallel core legs for said second E-shaped core within said primary winding section of said hollow coil bobbin such that magnetic fluid leaking at the abutting joint of said elongated and shortened cores interlinks with the primary winding to minimize the effects of the flux leakage on the efficiency of said transformer.
- 2. A transformer circuit according to claim 1 wherein said secondary winding is formed by a single winding.
- 3. A transformer circuit according to claim 1 wherein said secondary winding is formed by a plurality of windings.
- 4. A transformer circuit according to claim 1, wherein said transformer is an inverter transformer for a cold cathode tube.
- 5. A transformer circuit according to claim 1, wherein three parallel said core legs of said first E-shaped core are substantially the same length and wherein said three parallel core legs of said second E-shape core are substantially the same length.
- 6. A transformer circuit according to claim 1, wherein said secondary winding section includes a plurality of divided winding sections.
- 7. The transformer circuit according to claim 1, wherein the ends of the first and second E-shaped cores are substantially flat surfaces.
