Solution Approach 1:

The iron core is divided into multiple segments (first iron core and second iron core) made of different materials. The first iron core uses material optimized for high-frequency suppression while the second iron core uses material optimized for low-medium frequency suppression. This segmentation allows each segment to contribute its strength without compromising the overall reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite material structure by combining different ferrite materials (Ni-Zn based ferrite for high-frequency, Mn-Zn based ferrite for low-medium frequency) in a multi-segment iron core configuration. This composite approach enables simultaneous suppression of both high-frequency and low-medium frequency noise signals while maintaining system reliability through proper material selection and arrangement.

Solution Approach 1:

Different segments of the iron core are assigned different material properties tailored to specific frequency ranges. The first iron core segment uses Ni-Zn based ferrite with properties optimized for high-frequency suppression, while the second iron core segment uses Mn-Zn based ferrite with properties optimized for low-medium frequency suppression. This local quality differentiation resolves the frequency suppression trade-off.

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The solution effectively suppresses both high-frequency and low-medium frequency noise signals while significantly increasing the insulation resistance of the second iron core, reducing the risk of short circuits and improving the filter's operational reliability.

Implementation Method 1

All surfaces of the second iron core are coated with an insulating layer. Therefore, in the common mode filter provided by the present disclosure, by virtue of 'all surfaces of the second iron core being coated with an insulating layer,' the insulation resistance of the second iron core can be increased to reduce a risk of short circuit
