ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to swinging inductors of a stepped-gap construction. We describe an inductor core structure having first and second core segments, constructed and arranged such that distal ends of legs of the first core segment are paired with distal ends of legs of the second core segment in an opposing relation. The at least one distal ends of the first core segment has a ridge projecting therefrom and is paired with the at least one distal ends of the second core segment which has a ridge projecting therefrom in an opposing relation, such that opposingly paired projecting ridges form a cross arrangement.
