Fig. 1. Cross-section of core of 3-cell "constant-flux" inductor showing conductor and slots with and - indicating the directions of flow of current.

Fig. 2. Line plot of magnetic flux density of the inductor in comparison with that of toroidal inductor with same footprint area and toroidal inductor with same energy
(Solid Line: Magnetic flux density of 3-cell "constant-flux" inductor
Broken Line:Magnetic flux density of toroidal Inductor of equal energy as that of "constant-flux" inductor having 1.48 times smaller foot-print area).
