Development of Low-Iron-Loss Powder Magnetic Core Material for High-Frequency Applications AUTOMOTIVE Development of Low-Iron-Loss Powder Magnetic Core Material for High-Frequency Applications Tomoyuki IshImIne*, Asako WATAnAbe, Tomoyuki Ueno, Toru mAedA and Terukazu TokUokA Recently, there has been a growing trend toward reducing society's carbon footprint. In the field of energy, development of clean power generation systems, such as solar and wind generators, have been promoted. Electric vehicles are also replacing petrol vehicles in the automotive industry, and energy-saving electrical appliances are in demand more than ever. Due to this trend, small and powerful power-supply devices with better conversion efficiency are increasingly demanded, and accordingly, high performance inductors are required. Thus far, the authors have engaged in the development of powder magnetic cores, which are made by press compacting soft magnetic powder coated with insulating film, for use in motors and solenoid valves. In this study, the technology accumulated in the development of these cores has been successfully applied to that of an inductor core. The developed inductor core shows superior properties to ferrite and dust cores which are commonly used for inductors. In this paper, the advantageous properties of the developed core and the result of application to the inductor are reported. Keywords: soft magnetic material, inductor, reactor, choke coil, converter, inverter, eco-friendly vehicle 1.

The nail can then be used to pick up paper clips. When the electric current is cut off, the nail loses its magnetic property and the paper clips fall off. The students will make an elecromagnet that will attract a paper clip. They will then increase the strength of an electromagnet(improve on their initial design) so that it will attract an increased number of paper clips. The participants will also compare the properties of magnets and electromagnets. However, unlike a permanent magnet that needs no power, an electromagnet requires a continuous supply of current to maintain the magnetic field. Electromagnets are widely used as components of other electrical devices, such as motors. Electromagnets are also employed in industry for picking up and moving heavy iron objects such as scrap iron and steel. We will investigate engineering and industrial applications of the case study.

The ferrite material is considered for high power transformers but it requires an assembly of type “I” cores resulting in a multi air gap structure of the magnetic core. The authors claim that the multiple air gaps are randomly distributed and that the average air gap length is unpredictable at the industrial design stage. As a consequence, the required effective magnetic permeability and the magnetizing inductance are difficult to achieve within reasonable error margins. This article presents the measurements of the equivalent B(H) and the equivalent magnetic permeability of two three-phase MFT prototypes. The measured equivalent B(H) is used in an FEM simulation and compared against a no load test of a 100 kW isolated dc-dc converter showing a good fit within a 10% error.

  • Switch Mode Power Supplies and Their Magnetics Tutorial
    Datatronic Switch Mode Power Supplies and their Magnetics Many factors must be considered by designers when choosing the magnetic components required in today’s electronic power supplies DATATRONIC DISTRIBUTION, INC. Datatronic In today’s day and age the most often used topology for electronic power supplies is that of the Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS), which is a major user of magnetics. In some applications the “older type” linear supplies are still used, but in the early 70’s SMPS came into being spurred by the development of faster switching transistors. This facilitated the use of much smaller magnetic components and greater efficiencies. DATATRONIC DISTRIBUTION, INC. Datatronic SMPS and their General Magnetic Usage In general, there are four different types of magnetic components that are needed for the typical SMPS. They include the Output Transformer, usually the most noticeable because of its size compared to the others, the Output Inductors, the Input Inductors and the Current Sense Transformer, each with its own important function. DATATRONIC DISTRIBUTION, INC. Datatronic SMPS and their General Magnetic Usage 1.The Output Transformer or “Main” Transformer takes the input voltage that is supplied to its primary winding and then transforms the input voltage to one or more voltages that are the output of the secondary winding or windings. 2.

For the current electromagnetic drive mode, the electromagnetic drive device is too large to be integrated. In order to address this problem, we present a new micro electromagnetically driven MEMS safety and arming device, in which the electromagnetic coil is small in size, with a large electromagnetic force. We firstly designed and calculated the geometric structure of the electromagnetic coil, and analyzed the model using COMSOL multiphysics field simulation software. The resulting error between the theoretical calculation and the simulation of the mechanical and electrical properties of the electromagnetic coil was less than 2% under the same size. We then carried out a parametric simulation of the electromagnetic coil, and combined it with the actual processing capacity to obtain the optimized structure of the electromagnetic coil.

  • INTRODUCTION:- Ferrites Are Ferromagnetic Material Containing Predominantly Oxides Iron Along with Other Oxides of Barium, Stron
    INTRODUCTION:- Ferrites are ferromagnetic material containing predominantly oxides iron along with other oxides of barium, strontium, manganese, nickel, zinc, lithium and cadmium .Ferrites are ideally suited for making device like inductor core, circulators, memory devices and also for various microwave application. Although the saturation magnetisation of ferrites less than that of ferromagnetic alloys, they have advantages such as applicability at higher frequency, lower price and greater electrical resistance. Since 1950, soft ferrites have been widely studied and have become a field of interest of many researches because of their application potential in the modern electronics industry. The electrical and magnetic properties of these materials are structure sensitive and can be altered by doping or substitution. The substitution of aluminium in the inverse ferrites like Nickel, copper and cobalt ferrites have proved to be useful by increasing their saturation, magnetization, resistivity, however, at the cost of decrease of Curie temperature. Cadmium ferrite is a normal spinel ; its magnetic moment per unit cell is zero. Low magnetic high resistive ferrite are so applicable in the high frequency transformer cores. The addition of aluminium which has strong preference for the octahedral sites should exhibit the decrease of the magnetisation because aluminium is nonmagnetic. As aluminium content increases, the magnetic moment of unit cell decreases that means show triangular spin moment, their occurs a reduction in the sub lattice interaction. The removal of iron ions from magnetic sublattice and substitution of the nonmagnetic aluminium ion in its place weakens the magnetism. Due to this substitution improves catalytic, dielectric and magnetic properties, as they possess high resistivity and negligible eddy current losses.

  • MT Series High-Power Floor-Standing Programmable DC Power Supply • Expandable Into the Multi-Megawatts
    MT Series High-Power Floor-Standing Programmable DC Power Supply • Expandable into the Multi-Megawatts Overview Magna-Power Electronics MT Series uses the same reliable current-fed power processing technology and controls as the rest of the MagnaDC programmable power supply product line, but with larger high-power modules: individual 100 kW, 150 kW and 250 kW power supplies. The high-frequency IGBT-based MT Series units are among the largest standard switched-mode power supplies on the market, minimizing the number of switching components when comparing to smaller module sizes. Scaling in the multi-megawatts is accomplished using the UID47 device, which provides master-slave control: one power supply takes command over the remaining units, for true system operation. As an added 100 kW and 150 kW Models 250 kW Models safety measure, all MT Series units include an input AC breaker rated for full power. 250 kW modules come standard with an embedded 12-pulse harmonic neutralizer, Models ensuring low total harmonic distortion (THD). 2 2 2 Even higher quality AC waveforms are available 100 kW 150 kW 250 kW 500 kW 750 kW 1000 kW with an external additional 500 kW 24-pulse 1 or 1000 kW 48-pulse harmonic neutralizers, Max Voltage Max Current Ripple Efficiency designed and manufactured exclusively by (Vdc) (Adc) (mVrms) Magna-Power for its MT Series products. 16 6000 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A 35 90 20 5000 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A 40 90 25 N/A 6000 N/A N/A N/A N/A 40 90 32 3000 4500 N/A N/A N/A N/A 40 90 40 2500 3750 6000 12000 18000 24000 40 91 50 2000 3000 5000 10000 15000 20000 50 91 MT Series Model Ordering Guide 60 1660 2500 4160 8320 12480 16640 60 91 80 1250 1850 3000 6000 9000 12000 60 91 There are 72 different models in the MT Series spanning power levels: 100 kW, 150 kW, 250 kW.
