Large Size Ferrite Cores for High Power
Summary
Nowadays, more and more high-frequency circuits are being used in industrial equipment as well as consumer equipment. With the use of
higher frequencies, silicon steel sheets have become unsuitable for magnetic material used in transformers. Ferrite, its substitute, delivers
reduced core loss at high frequencies and is the optimum material for high-power requirements.
To meet these various demands, we at TDK have employed our ferrite development technologies accumulated over the years and
advanced production technologies to offer large, high-quality cores for high-frequency, high-power power supplies.
In the following information, introduce ferrite cores that used PE22, PC40 and PE90 materials having superior magnetic characteristics.
