Abstract :
A new variable inductor with sinusoidal output is described. The variable inductor is constructed with a pair of orthogonal cores. The secondary AC current is easily controlled by the primary DC current. The secondary current is almost sinusoidal in a wide control region. A prototype circuit for reactive power compensation using the new variable inductor is presented
