Category: Inductor

The losses related to an inductor can be categorized into two types. One type is entirely dependent on the properties of the core material, while the other type relies solely on the characteristics of the conductor and current flowing through it. Copper losses When a magnetic bar is inserted into an current carries conductor and…

Two different areas are involved in any core shape These two areas multiplication only area product (AP = AE. AW) which is important and used in inductor design steps. After selecting the core in magnetics design, we look for core areas in core data sheet for calculating the area product. The core cross-sectional area (Ae)…

The main equations used in inductor design steps are derived below. These are Area Product (AP) Area product of any magnetic core involves in the cross-sectional area and window areas of core Area product, AP = AE . AW Lets derive one by one. There are two law’s are involved in this process Cross-sectional area…

Inductor design procedure is an important to follow for getting the targeted inductance value with a proper functioning and decent efficiency. These steps depends mainly on 3 things The complete design steps and flow shown in below flowchart for better understanding. The derivation of area product equation and number of turns equation clearly explained in…

Power factor correction (PFC) means improving It is defined as how much active power is drawn from grid in the amount of total power. In simple terms, Total Power (S) = Active power (P) + Reactive power (Q) Total power (S) –> Apparent power = VrmsIrms Active (Real) power (P) –> Useful power = VrmsIrms*cos(Φ)…
