The conventional orthogonal‐core variable inductor works in a saturation state using direct current, thus increasing the harmonics of the alternating current. This paper presents an orthogonal‐core variable inductor that consisted of one E core and one U core. The three‐phase variable inductor reduces the harmonic components because of its unique magnetic circuit topology. It does not include the third‐harmonic components in its output current. Some basic characteristics are verified through simulation and experimental results. © 2014 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
